This series of mixed-media works is a meditation on the passage of time, morality, memory, and interpersonal relationships. Sedgwick deconstructs and excavates his images revealing many layers. He melts the photo emulsion using various solvents as a way to paint within the photographs; he then combines various mediums including paint, ink, glitter, and collaged materials to evoke an animation or aura within the image. Sedgwick states, “Nothing makes our passage through time resonate with as much immediacy than seeing our children, parents and loved ones being born, aging and dying around us.” This manifestation of “life” within the images contradicts our conventional notions of a photograph distilling a moment in time.
