Omschrijving:
Sara Davidmann and her siblings inherited letters and photographs belonging to her uncle and aunt, The letters chronicled the relationship between Ken and Hazel. Hazel had been a dental secretary. Ken practiced as an optician in Edinburgh. It emerged soon after they were married that Ken was transgender. In the context of a British marriage in the 1950s, this inevitably profoundly affected both their relationship and their relationships with the people around them. They remained together from 1954 to the end of Ken's life. Publicly Ken was a man, but in the privacy of the home he was a woman. In response to the letters and family photographs Sara Davidmann has produced a new set of photographs using analogue, alternative and digital processes. Looking at the vintage photographs she was acutely aware of their surfaces; the marks of time and damage had become part of the images. This led her to work on the surfaces of the photographs she produced using ink, chalks, hand tinting, magic markers and correction fluid
