Tong Zhou Lafrance cuts and reassembles old family photographs, weaving narrow strips into shimmering quasi-pixelated surfaces that emphasize how personal memories and shared cultural forms are distorted through time and representation. Lafrance alters these images as a means to examine their experience as an adoptee from China. By pulling apart memories in order to put them back together again, Lafrance’s works show how different perspectives might coexist within a single frame. More specifically, they are interested in how the story of adoption unfolds past the original event, with a life ‘constructed’ through the lens of before/after. By reworking family archives they exert their own sense of agency across significant memories and moments.

Transpositions is the final in a three-part series of exhibitions that explore connections between textiles and technology. Building on the preceding exhibitions Interweavings and Remediations, the artists selected for Transpositions offer an expanded understanding of textile construction. Using non-traditional media such as wire, rubber, photographs, or insulation they transpose the technologies of weaving or braiding onto their chosen materials.
