RECORDS and FRAGMENTS (2020)
Monotype prints on archival recycled paper. Records are approximately 14.25h x 10.5w, and Fragments are 7h x 5.5w.
Following the production of a series investigating the totalizing, universalizing vantage point of the “god’s-eye” view from the Apollo images of Earth from space, my recent work has focused on similar questions regarding problems of scale and its direct relationship to the body. I’ve begun a series of monotypes using found packing materials and used clothing in infant proportions. The prints record the marking of an absent body, as both a unit and a package, on a horizontal plane. The mark of the referenced infant, preserved, won’t grow up, or never got to grow up. Like young generations today, in dialog with the generation of baby boomers who went to the moon, squandered planetary resources, and continue to burn the present at the expense of the future, these monotypes haunt the now.
