Weathering Time

Interested in the aging female body, the passage of

time, and loss, Floyd has created a body of work comprised of over 2,500 images over the past

nearly four decades.'It's not just the body that changes: Fashions and hairstyles evolve; pets come and go; typewriters,

analog clocks, and telephones with cords disappear; and finally, film gives way to digital and

the computer replaces the darkroom. While Weathering Time is a personal archive, and I am

mining the archive to address issues of the female body, the family snapshot and loss, I am also

interested in producing images that suggest some of the experiences of my generation. Indeed, the

photographs underscore the cultural, technological, and physical changes that have occurred over

the past thirty-five years-from my youth to the dawn of my old age.'
