Loosely based on her childhood memories of growing up in suburban New Jersey, Karady’s narrative self-portrait scenarios with family members and friends reinterpret crucial childhood moments and explore how they translate into adult relationships and identity, integrating the past into the present.
A psychological inquiry into both self and familial relationships, Refitting builds on themes from Splitting Seams, her previous series of photographs. For these more complex photographs, Karady returned to locations loaded with emotional and psychological associations to restage childhood memories from the perspective of adulthood, embedding the images with real artifacts from her childhood, such as clothing, dolls and props. The psychodynamics of the nuclear family are visually suggested through the use of space and composition, symbolic artifacts and mannered pose and gesture.
