Faith Moosang is a photographic artist who has amassed a large collection of vernacular photography that includes photo albums numbering in the hundreds, numerous home movies, slide collections and other ephemera related to the domestic sphere and the remembrance of family. She is currently creating a work about the empire of media, dirty money and the amassing of classical statuary which is based on a slide collection created by an unknown tourist who visited Hearst Castle in the 1960s.
