_archival inkjet prints, branch, boards, mirrors, wood in the nature of things was made during the Prairie Ronde residency in Michigan located the site of a 420,000 square foot former Lee Paper Company mill undergoing a large-scale sustainable redevelopment project. Using materials from the mill’s warehouse, surrounding landscapes and house, materials are arranged, photographed, and then digitally manipulated. Blurring sites and spaces, these works are paired with photographs taken from walks in the local landscape. Materials of known and unknown origins are unmoored from their original usage, in the process of being found, misplaced, salvaged, or discarded. |
