Abstract

To See from Somewhere is a series of monochrome sculptural and flat inkjet prints that expand space between traditional photographic binaries: black and white, front and back, flat and dimensional. On the surface, each piece absorbs light and reflects a dull gradient or graduated scale of tones. Lurking between shades of grey, they are gradual and metered in their transitions. I explore the boundaries of my ability to discern between two shades on a gradient and on a scale. I notice my reliance on observable difference to distinguish any given tone from another and relish the spaces where I cannot. I adhere the pieces tenuously, draping them between corners and allowing them to curl away from the wall. I explore the inherent quality of the material: the paper-white of inkjet paper, its fluid tendencies, it’s multiple surfaces. I seek to create rich and slippery print-objects that exist neither here nor there.
