“For the past thirty years, since calling Bainbridge Island my new home, I’ve been trying to grow roots. Towards this, I’ve been photographing and collecting words from various perspectives of Island life, always culminating in presentations like this one. This latest body of work explores the history of Bainbridge Island through the built environment. It is highly personal and selective. The exhibit is composed mostly of older homes that are still in use, repurposed, or in disrepair. All of them come with stories of Island lives and history. These minor histories are often forgotten. Some might have been passed down to relatives or heard by neighbors, but they often change by omissions, embellishments, and the vagaries of memory. There are many blank spaces to fill in, an invitation to use one’s imagination and curiosity to see Bainbridge Island through the lens of past lives and the built environment they inhabited,” Joel Sackett.
