The Room

In a somewhat premeditated but mostly impulsive decision, I wall papered my bedroom with hundreds of laser jet prints, taken from images of nature and reassembled to form geometric patterns.

hand cut laser-jet prints, staples
This large-scale paper installation is made up of found images that I cut and reassembled to form an overwhelming geometric landscape. Standing back and viewing the piece all at once, baroque and psychedelic patterns emerge that appear beautiful yet also destabilizing. Up close, the images pixelate and the materials of computer paper and staples reveal themselves for what they are: this is a configured idea of an environment made up of stockpile images that could easily be desktop backgrounds. When placed all together, however, they form an eerie, sublime, and attractive nature that captures the peaceful moment of time that preludes disaster.
