I make digital collages of past work that I want to keep alive. Dissecting and mining images/stills for interesting non-objective shapes allows me to consider the important aspects of the work, and I want to continue with. The final collage becomes part of my print language that I project light through, and/or I get printed on fabric/clothing so that I can take my art ideas out of traditional art spaces and into my daily life. These prints are a conversation with the original work but also separate. This particular college I made to submit to the exhibition #A(artistic)xI(nteresting)xP(owerful) . This exhibition is organized by @Lorainewibleart, @stevekemple and myself. It is a show about 2020 and how covid forced us into a limbo digital/physical combination space. I worked on this collage because I used a video/animation that Loraine made in reaction to #interiorcastles , a performance where Steve Kemple wrote an 8 person choir piece from hypnotism notes, from sessions under “ The Other World” photograph @graceduval and I made for #archiveasaction at @cincycac. I wanted the documentation of the performance, which was installed after, to be it’s own experience. So Loraine interpreted the footage for us. Her result is something that took many minds and a digital/physical combination to get there. The first collage is my favorite. But I included a few variations.
