“Lost acquisition”
2007
paper, Xerox copy on archival Japanese paper, methyl cellulose paste, archival tape, paper clay,frame
installation, variable dimensions


These figures were created from images found in printed media. I imagined their mass and depth from the 2-D printed images on paper and then sculpted them into 3-D figures. I then flattened the completed figures and put them into frames. Each step of the process created a greater distance from the once living thing that was captured on film.This process of transforming is a way to make physical the process of understanding how objects are perceived and what is lost in that process. The work is about the understanding that comes from distancing oneself from an object. This whole process is a confirmation of what is lost by acquisition and acquired by loss.
