Transient Transfers of Persistent Memory
opening reception: Friday, September 6th from 5:00-9:00p.m.
Other hours by appointment
From the Artist:
My recent works explore the rebirth of image and memory within the process of gel medium transfer. I normally use collage and assemblage in my works to push them farther and this series explores older works in photography. This extension of manipulation of imagery uses gel medium to capture an image and move it to another surface. This pushes the image to a deeper level and by using this different medium, this makes the photography look ghostly as if it is a dream or a memory . I started to revisit 30 years of photography taken while living in Cleveland, Ohio. From old industrial buildings, dead malls, lift bridges and amusement park rides - I found my older photography images within old computers, old Flickr accounts. Each piece is printed out, not edited with photoshop or digital design, just taking the original image and print out what to me is a memory captured in time before social media.
These works reflect the love for the Land. My memories are brighter and they convey a sense of the love and hope I had for my city shine through within these pieces; a ghostly image of the past becomes alive again.
