Graphite and ink on paper.
Modern culture depends on
media for communication: for the dissemination of information and
entertainment. But, in a world of media overload and viewer expectation, the
unique expressive qualities of the individual may get lost in the prescriptive
presentation of information, leaving little room for independent dialogue with
newly encountered images.
This work continues my exploration of documenting the ordinary. My intention in "Girl Talk" is to interrogate and situate conventional understandings and expectations of media in the context of modern culture while also addressing the issue of technical reproduction vs. the handmade.
