1997-2001. Collage, Okawara paper, pencil inscription, magnifying glass attachment. 79 x 76 1⁄2” Collection of Ackland Art Museum.
Every illustration from Zell’s Popular Encyclopedia (1871).
An encyclopedia is a snapshot of what is deemed important at that time by that compiler— this is a compilation of those same images rearranged as this artist responds to them at this time. Background pencil statements my thoughts on the effect technology could have had on the process and the differences between traditional and computer generated collage –still life, portraiture, landscape, science, technology and abstraction are featured.
