Chaos series, 2017-

​

A series of action-based paperworks that consider unique, interdependent systems and cultural responses to disorder.

​

Works in editions are made with the same strict set of processes, with a necessarily unique outcome for each print. Pictured are the first prints of each edition.

​

Chaos I: Variations

​

This series was made by colliding a 6" circular, machine-cut copper plate, inked once, with Japanese kozo papers Okawara, Ginwashi and Mura Rokubu under extreme pressure. Many of the prints are reflexive: impressions of themselves disintegrating, exploding, distorting and degrading in successive ghost prints.
