Banned From New York
180 Squares
These works were inspired by David Hockney’s Joiners series, photographic collages pieced together from multiple polaroids shot at slightly varying angles to form a legible whole image.
The concept of remixing, of taking apart and putting back together, is one I return to again and again; for me, the whole can be much more than the sum of its parts.
For each of the physical pieces, I’ve taken 3 individual prints, cut them up, and strategically reassembled them to create visual shifts that blur or - perhaps, pixelate - the image.
The resultant composition becomes a minimalist grid that rests upon an obscured nude subject, thus relating it back to my ongoing interest in censorship and visual tricks.
