I have letters in a name because I continue.[/i]&#xD;from Brief Capital of Disturbances by George Albon&#xD; &#xD;I am interested in examining how the popular media influences our perception of tragedy and disaster by constructing their own narratives and agendas. In these prints newspaper and internet images of disasters are combined with comic book imagery detailing destruction in order to create a fabricated space of fictitious and actual events. Through the printmaking process a layered space has been constructed by combining digital outputs with collagraph, etching, and collage. The commercial medium of print is made purposefully explicit in order to acknowledge the process of appropriation. In the prints halftone dot patterns appear exaggerated while more traditional print media, such as etching and collagraph, create embellished marks and atmospheres. These prints juxtapose fantasy with a reflection on actual events. Like the graphic world of comic books where day-to-day life is tempered with the destruction between heroes and villains, we are continually inundated with images of disasters that can rally against or be attributed to our own ideologies.&lt;br/&gt;</description>
