The medium of photography and image making has accelerated immensely in the digital age. The artist, always looking for a way to slow down that very process.
Inventory, Destructive Creation and Absence all are based on this technique. By applying acid the artist is able to change, remove or add compositions to an image. Fluxing acid concentration, wash-time and method of application all change the image’s affect entirely.
| INVENTORY |
This is the artists approach to self-portraits. By applying hydrochloride acid on printed images. The photos were taken over the course of 6 years (2010-2016) in a New York City photo booth, then enlarged and printed. Here the application of acid is less controlled while the artist explores the tension field existing between the surface and what’s beneath.
