This exhibition by Martin Smith presents a continuation of two, long term projects that explore the structure, construction and understanding of personal narratives through the combination of text and image.

Since 2004, Smith has been writing an auto-biographical novel where each letter is hand-cut from a photograph producing a memoir that is told visually and textually. The released letters, from the photographs, are then resurrected to form anonymous cyanotype portraits that question the influence of language in the construction of self.
