PROJECT STATEMENT
Scanning archival photos and photocopies picked up a granular patterning that mimicked a Ben Day dot grid, which I enlarged and enhanced. I wanted to apply the same mediation to paint, as a material, and scanned and imposed paintbrush strokes over these scans, layering imagery and mediums. The scanner behaves like a camera, taking in two separate frames of time into a collaged image. The inkjet prints merge historical documents and information with a physical application made in present day. The works themselves also discuss multiple moments in art history, from Baldessari’s forms to Polke’s use of Ben Day dots, to Richter’s Overpainted Photographs.
