Guggenheim 714--Casper, Wyoming 1956

Robert Frank captured this contact sheet—*Guggenheim 714--Casper, Wyoming*—with his camera. It's a whole series of little moments all laid out, a grid of possible narratives. I love seeing the artist’s process like this, the raw material, the mistakes, all the stuff that usually gets hidden away. What was Frank thinking as he drove through Wyoming? Was he trying to find something, or just letting the world unfold before him? You see the insides of cars, the blur of landscapes, weird objects in diners. It's all so fleeting and fragmented, a little like memories. It reminds me of the way I paint, layering and scraping, trying to capture some kind of truth. You’re searching for meaning, but maybe it's not about finding answers, but about embracing the questions.
