The Cover Story
In this print installation, created at a time of significant influx of online information and collective knowledge across the globe, I return to my relationship with the traditional notion of a book and its representation of history and perspective. My process of altering the book covers of the original books in graphic, size, and perspective results in images that connote a complicated relationship between a viewer and an author in a juxtaposition of image and text. These enlarged reproductions of the original etchings I printed from the books imply an alternative way of thinking regarding the history and epistemological hierarchy through the physical translation of the material and conceptual juxtaposition.
