portfolio of work: Manette Faith
Manette is a Philadelphia-based artist, writer, and photographer. Raised by artists, she grew up surrounded by studios, exhibitions, and creative practice before developing a visual art practice of her own.
Working across photography, installation, and mixed media, her work explores history, memory, mythology, and place. Drawing on archival research, constructed environments, and personal narratives, she creates images and installations that examine how people make meaning from the stories, landscapes, and cultural inheritances they are given.
“Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
