dc.description.abstractMy exhibition and paper addresses the physicality of the image, specifically that of the printed image and its material substrate, whether that image is photographically produced, or one created from printmaking processes. Several years ago I inherited a family archive of photographic negative, prints and slides that date from 1940 onward. These photographs form the genesis of my work. I often begin by sanding away areas of original contact prints to reconfigure the narrative structure of the image. I also use these images to produce large serigraphs on Mylar. Frequently I embellish these works with silver leaf - referencing the silver oxide that forms the foundation for light-sensitive exposures. Along with the sanded photographs and serigraphic prints, I have created an artist book consisting of two decks of trading cards. These cards contain imagery taken from the photo-collection as well as sentence fragments that I develop while sanding the prints.
