| Series notes | The Childhood Memory series consists of nostalgic sepia-toned images of Samena as a child with other members of her family. She created collages of her own photographs and reused earlier photos taken by her father in Pakistan and added personal memorabilia such as textiles and jewellery and other objects that acquire personal meaning throughout one's history. She mixed old with new to evoke memories of a disparate past. |
| Collection notes | The Samena Rana collection includes material from her main bodies of photographic work: the 'Flow of Water Series', the 'Arrangement Series', the 'Disability Series' and other biographical material. The digitised items include mainly colour and black and white photographs. Dorney, Camille, 'Tribute to Samena Rana' in Third Text. No 20. Autumn 1992 (pp114) |
