Archives

Disintegrating Archives is a series that engages with questions of memory, trace, and material decay. It originates from a single source image a solitary abandoned house in the middle of a field through which I explore the shifting relations between inside and outside, past and present, preservation and erasure.

Each reworking of the image creates a new layer of memory, a photographic collage, an inverted negative, or a laser print on zinc that fossilizes vision into matter. Together, the works form a living archive, one that disintegrates and reconstructs itself with every variation.
