“My work explores ideas around identity and gender, what it is that marks who we are and where we fit. The ‘Wayne’ work grew out of wondering if a person’s identity could be re-created from other peoples’ recollections of him and where he fitted in their lives. Over a long weekend, and unannounced, I visited old friends with my video camera and a piece of folded white paper which I unfolded and pinned on the wall behind them. I asked everyone that same question: What do you remember about Wayne? Wayne was my ex-husband and none of us have seen him for 15 years.” — Sandy Gibbs
