Alice Wingwall, Lapidarium
Though her images appear to be constructed of photographs, the primary building blocks of Wingwall's work are actually memory. Once an architectural history major, she lost her sight, gradually, to retinitis pigmentosa. Now completely blind, she is the archivist of a private memory museum. Only after combining, reordering and reimagining does she release a work into the world of the sighted. "Though I've lost my sight, I haven't lost my vision," she says.
