2019-2023
A series of collage works that correspond to the four video installations that make up the Negative Space tetralogy. Presented in groups of seven, the collages represent the research informing various scenes depicted in the videos, with elements of print and digital sources providing an “associative atlas” that symbolically maps each work. These collages are constructed on mirrors so that the “negative space” in the collaged compositions becomes an active surface that reflects and shifts with the viewer’s gaze.
