Couch’s work focuses on accessing the memory landscape of Blackness through the folklore and magic that lives within memories and archives created before her own practice began. Synthesising both archival and contemporary imagery, Couch creates discussion surrounding the lineage of Black people being observed and depicted. She examines the Black body’s place in contemporary photography, its ties to historical narratives of existence, and a new future imagined and created by Black people. Through collaboration with members of her community, Couch uses photography as a revolutionary tool to activate our collective memory landscape and reimagine how love and intimacy exist in space.
