With a mark to grant you a lacking status. From things about to
disappear. The testimony pre-exists the subject. Left-right
separation pushing a program. I have letters in a name because I
continue.
from Brief Capital of Disturbances by George Albon
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.
