Mrs. Benifield

I found this 19th-century photograph of Mrs. Benifield, my great-grandmother, in my father’s garage. It captured my imagination and led me to rummage through my studio looking for objects and memorabilia that connected with her image. These Mrs. Benifield montages are a record of what I found.
