Collections & Collaborations (study I), Five digital inkjet prints, magnets, 75cm x 61cm, (2023).

TVM: ‘Collections & Collaborations (study I) consists of photographic transparencies (scanned and printed digitally). As original slides, taken using a large format camera,they are the result of a long process of collating my father’s archive and creating constellations of material from implicit or embedded artworks, personal and anecdotal material, political or propaganda brochures, newspaper clippings and historical artefacts.’

Boxed Matter, Slide installation with sound work on speakers, (2022-2025)

This slide installation shows images of Balsam Flex artefacts at Tris’ studio. These pictures are combined with a collection of photographs also taken by Tris in late 2023 that show E.E.’s publications held at The British Library’s collection in London. The work is accompanied by a sound piece made in collaboration with the artist and oral historian Laura Kahn Mitchison, recorded on a walk along the River Thames, which takes the listener through London locations familiar to E.E. and Tris, featuring an interpretative reading of Tris’ photographic collages.
