In Memories of India, Matthew's images are evocative of the melody of a Raga in Indian music. Where the notes form a poignant, haunting melody that transport the viewer into her memories of India. Taken with a Holga camera over more than a decade, the title captures the fleeting moments that trigger events, real and imagined. As Vicki Goldberg writes in her eloquent essay for the book "On these pages the vast and minor cohabit, the past and present clasp hands, expected and implausible collide, and photography responds to Wordsworth’s idea of poetic creation:“emotion recollected in tranquility.” Annu Matthew’s recollected India is, in any light, a memorable place."
