8"x10" lustre archival print. Printed locally at Atlantic Photo Supply.

About the series: These prints are non-scented from my series Scratch n' Sniff Menu, a translation of the food related memories generously shared during interviews by people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Although it was difficult for these individuals to access some details of their lives, during our discussions (aided by my Betty Crocker cookbook collection and oodles of jam thumbprint cookies), they began to recall some vivid memories — all the while bragging about their mothers’ wonderful cooking. The foods recalled during these interviews were recreated, photographed, and printed using scratch and sniff technology to explore the power of olfactory prompting as a means of memory retrieval.
