Victoria Lucas creates artists’Äô books that record places and objects specific to the notion of time continuum. Consisting of photography, scanned images and text, her books present collections of these subjects in a way that draw attention to categories through their function, history and cultural references. What series of events have brought these objects, all with the same function, together as one collection?

For example, Family Archive documents a selection of objects taken from the artist’Äôs own family heirloom collection. The eclectic mix of objects provides a number of clues in relation to the lives of the individuals who owned these items, as well as evoking associations and memories with regard to the viewer’Äôs own family history. Fragmented tales that have been passed down from one generation to the next are woven in to the book through the imagery that it presents.
