Old photographs capture moments in forgotten stories. My work suggests these stories. The text, composed of lines cut from old books and letters, suggests the imagined facts of the story or captures the emotional tone of the photograph. The haiku format mirrors the brevity of the moment preserved in the photo, and the allusive quality of the imagined story. Vintage paper captures the texture of everyday life and serves as a reminder the time is a part of every story. Paper in a foreign language symbolizes that we never know the whole story. Torn or incomplete pieces of old paper suggest the fragmentary but enduring nature of memory.

In an electronic age, Meyer’s work commemorates the enduring importance of paper and photographs. She explains: Old photographs—discarded, sold on the Internet or in junk stores—capture moments in forgotten stories. My work suggests these stories. The text, composed of phrases from old books and letters, captures the imagined facts or emotional tone of the photograph. This text is in haiku format, which mirrors the brevity of the photographed moment and the allusive quality of the story I imagine. I add paper from many sources to capture the texture of everyday life and the effect of aging. The appearance of the paper—printed, typed, or handwritten, discolored, stained, or creased—makes the paper visually interesting, and is a reminder that time is a part of every story. Paper in a foreign language reminds us that we can never know the complete story. Torn and incomplete pieces of old paper suggest the fragmentary but enduring nature of memory. I select the papers for each photograph based on their color and content. I combine the elements in a simple and linear design that is a visual echo of the haiku format.
