Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and color pastedown present to the front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. What the Living Carry reveals a small town called Hoy’s Fork, located in the American South. Drawing on memories of the rural environment in which he grew up, Virginia photographer Morgan Ashcom brings together photographs, typewritten letters, and a hand-drawn map to construct a fictional account of a disturbing place. Leading us on a path through the town and its surrounding forest, Ashcom presents scenes that point to a mysterious story, and people whose family connections remain unknown: a desperate old man, with champagne on hand, inclines on the corroding stages of a once grandiose Home; a bloody mattress is carried across an overgrown field; a lonely child wanders into a meadow, while in the streets a man dutifully cleans a white picket fence – a vision that belies a local fresco of an ancient and distant land. Interspersing this fragmented narrative is a set of texts – four letters responding to “Morgan’s” request for DNA analysis – written by “Eugene” of the “Center for Epigenetics and Wellness of the Spirit.” If What the Living Carry provides a set of clues to unravel the enigma behind this strange world, it is through a visual record that is both autobiographical and imagined, and prone to evasion.
