Identity
Identity is a series of paintings inspired by old family photographs that examines my family's story. My personal narrative and artistic journey have been profoundly shaped by the loss of my mother at a young age. These photographs serve as tangible evidence of her existence in the world. Some images create an illusion of perfection that, in reality, does not exist, while others hint at underlying brokenness. I delve into the voids and the catch-22 of narrative imagery, which leave viewers seeking additional information—much like the unfinished conversations we are left with after losing our loved ones. The paintings illustrate both our shared experiences and the familial twists and turns that, though not always acknowledged, exist in every family, inviting viewers to connect with their own stories.

“In an effort to regain her personal history, lost with the death of her mother at a young age, Camille Warmington utilizes family photos to fill in the voids of her own memory of her family. This exhibition pulls back the curtain on the artist’s family (and all families) through paintings of photographs. Some create the illusion of perfection. Many will deal with the unfinished conversations that we all would like to complete with loved ones no longer with us.”
