Griffin Museum of Photography Exhibit: Remember Me

The Griffin Museum is pleased to present&nbsp;Remember Me&nbsp;by Preston Gannaway, recipient of the Director’s Prize in the 2025 Juried Members Exhibition. Project Statement 	For over 20 years, I’ve been photographing a New Hampshire boy following the death of his mother when he was 4 years old. The interplay of everyday details, landscapes and portraits work together to create an intimate longitudinal essay on time, loss and mortality. 	In early 2006, I was assigned to tell the story of a young couple dealing with terminal cancer while raising children. I was there when the mother, Carolynne St. Pierre, died and continued to tell the family’s story as her husband Rich and her children, including 4 year-old EJ, struggled to cope with the loss. Through this, we all formed a deep connection. 	Though the original newspaper story was published in 2007, and I now live in California, I’ve regularly traveled back to New Hampshire to photograph. Carolynne endured difficult treatment hoping that she’d be able to imprint her children’s memories. She was afraid that EJ would be too young to remember her. In the photographs that I make now, I am witnessing what Carolynne couldn’t — her son growing up. 	Memories change over time. Both memory and time have been fundamentally linked to photography since its beginning. Most times I ask EJ, he can’t recall any memories of his mother. He also tells me he doesn’t remember a time when I haven’t been making photographs of him. 	This story, which is ostensibly about a specific boy, also reflects my own upbringing, and hopefully that of its audience. My own feelings of loss and memory color the images I make of Rich and EJ. The work leverages photography’s capacity for openness and ambiguity, and its resulting ability to deepen empathy and connect us.
