Winter. Installation view., 2005
260" x 88"
Archival Ink Jet Prints on Paper
Winter, is a personal response to the overwhelming and emotional nature of the current political climate. Using the structure of the seasonal cycle as an organizing principle, it is a document of public and private events that are intertwined and inter-related. Using digitally printed imagery and text, Winter combines original images of seasonal local landscape, political protest, and the birth of a child with texts of newspaper articles, descriptions of weather, and appropriated news images.
This installation seeks to create an atmosphere of thought and reflection on the gravity of the times in which we live and the personal relationships and responsibilities we all share.
Winter is a 7’ x 21’ wall installation of ink jet prints on paper, tiled and printed in a style referencing billboard design. This scale and format emphasize the physical relationship between the viewer and the continuous onslaught of visual, emotional, and political information we receive. It was exhibited at SPACES gallery, Cleveland in the Spring of 2005.
