The Forgotten Lives Project The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to The Forgotten Lives Project
 
“I’m a digital collage artist and photographer and a collector of early portrait photography—daguerreotypes tintypes and cabinet cards from the 1800s. I’m fascinated and sometimes saddened by these mysterious and haunting photographs of long-forgotten people and I’m driven not only to preserve their memory but to awaken it. My work intertwines 19th century photographs with whimsical objects and animals creating playful surreal and haunting worlds. Titled The Forgotten Lives Project these reimagined images aim to bring life to long-lost souls and tell a new story.” -David Bender
