“This ongoing body of work uses the tropes of posters and frontispieces to advertise worldwide events and elements that we all commonly enjoy for free: unbridled celebrations of life’s very temporality. They are romantically nostalgic and suggestive of the infinite in the quotidian.The text is largely the image: the pieces are created using an ephemeral, inexact paper-plate lithographic process that I exploit in order to create a distinct look of ageless-ness. They are largely simple, mostly black and white, with evidence of the tools used, the brayers and the ink.The elements and events referenced are not limited to the contemporary or to the past. Each piece is unique, although for each theme there are variations. The work titled “Memory & Distance”, for example, of which there are several related images, is not unlike everyone’s own experience of Memory: it shifts a bit each time it is accessed. The newer pieces are very politically motivated, philosophical and rueful, serious yet playful.”
