Doodles on existing prints
These works are various sizes and entail doodling or painting over top of existing works to create something new. Completed between December 2018 - February 2020.
By adopting and re-contextualizing items, I’m constructing tangible memories of an altered history. Refractions of reality. But using appropriated images also brings up concerns of authenticity and authorship. In collage, who is the author of the artwork? And if the collage is constructed of digital photos of sources or if it is painted, does that change the authorship in any way? Does painting the collage change the materiality, and make the piece more unique? It challenges traditional concepts of painting and art; materiality versus immateriality. It moves from tangible to digital and back again. Constructed into something different than it was; something new.
Currently on display at Caffe Sole in Edmonton
