They are visual stories about the intersections of life, society, art, and technology. During my graduate education, I struggled for a meaningful place for imagery in my art practice. My work is stimulated by the progression of technology and the vast amount of information through images that is dispersed to the public through the media. I have been revising those stories (information through images) in a slowed down, contemplative manner (embroidery and sewing). Once I decided on using the size and shape of the front page as my template, I created the parameters for the project. The first newspaper I embroidered was purchased on a random date (November 28, 2005). When I finished embroidering the images on the front (removing all text), I purchased the next paper. I embroidered with white thread on white canvas, using a limited variety of stitches to simplify the images. The effect of the white on white is something I have worked with previously- it makes it difficult to view the images from a distance, one must go up to them and spend more time studying them to pick out the details, to garner some meaning. By embroidering the appropriated photographs and using no color palette, I dramatically slowed down the process of making and receiving images. I wanted to project the concepts of care into a world that seemed to be spinning round me at a dizzying speed. This work is my attempt to infuse meaning and create a new relationship between myself and the work, and ultimately the work and the viewer.<br/> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 20:47:22 GMT Jes Schrom http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120032 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120032"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_12413/d33d1d4fd68431b1096c464475525e72/d33d1d4fd68431b1096c464475525e72_scale_64_80.jpg" height="80" width="64" border="1" alt="Reconstructive Memory, Image25" /></a><br/><br/> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:34:14 GMT Jes Schrom http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120031 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120031"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_12413/a516bcf5539293c8c9c9972f7bb625d7/a516bcf5539293c8c9c9972f7bb625d7_scale_66_80.jpg" height="80" width="66" border="1" alt="Reconstructive Memory, Image24" /></a><br/><br/> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:33:46 GMT Jes Schrom http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120029 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120029"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_12413/e8b5b25decf4d678204b916de37abd8c/e8b5b25decf4d678204b916de37abd8c_scale_96_80.jpg" height="80" width="96" border="1" alt="Reconstructive Memory, Image23" /></a><br/><br/> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:33:13 GMT Jes Schrom http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120028 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=120028"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_12413/6a1285afc9dcbe5c6e2739205ce3a687/6a1285afc9dcbe5c6e2739205ce3a687_scale_66_80.jpg" height="80" width="66" border="1" alt="Reconstructive Memory, Image22" /></a><br/><br/> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:32:49 GMT Jes Schrom
