Mining her own life for material, Tamblyn examines her own accumulated personal documentation in both physical and digital form, as a CD-ROM. The documentation includes the myriad of materials of Tamblyn's life, her artwork, critical writings, business files and audio tapes as well as more personal records such as letters, diaries and dresses. The totality of the exhibition serves as a testament to the overwhelming scope and complexity of an individual life, and explores how one understands a life archived in this manner. Archival Quality is a traveling exhibition produced by the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies with the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the David Bermant Foundation. Gallery Talks are available for classes and community groups.
