The Void Is Not Empty
Prints
Started in 2014
The Void and Ghost series is part machine-made everyday-objects survey, part transformation, part meditation. Images are created using the machine made shapes, boxes of products I consume. As I use the boxes as stencils, images portray the absence of the object, the void, and its ghosts, marks left on the plate after an object has been removed as the plate goes through the press a second time.
The series has approximately 60 original pieces to date, diptychs and singles.
Every year since the project's inception, new pieces are made.
