FRAGMENTS, 2016
Fragments began as small collage works constructed with cut-ups of photographs sourced from National Geographic magazines printed between 1960 and 1980. The images offered a rich palette of color choices particular to a period of mass production printing with what are now discontinued inks. Scanned and translated into large digital prints and mounted on magnetic sheets, they were attached to a gallery wall surfaced with steel-embedded paint. The works contain a series of progressive collage actions, beginning with the original cut-ups from the archival magazines, configured and glued onto paper, reconfigured in the scanning process, and later reconfigured again on the wall. Combined and recombined, they morph and grow.
