| Print 2008 archival inkjet prints on Hahnemühle photo rag 18" x 18" The flatbed scans of printmaking tools was a project I started while on residency at the Sagamie National Centre for Digital Art. The centre ’s printmaking equipment had been stored in a basement as their production is now completely digitally-based. In an effort to understand the historical process, I decided to formally work with these tools, creating “impressions” through scanning and printing on photo rag. Each item is isolated by a black background, foregrounding the tools as sacralized relics. I am interested in how these objects, in relation to my other bodies of work, articulate the hand-made, ritualized gesture, and manual labour. |
