Preserving Impressions


Limbo (Preserving Impressions At Chicago Art Department), 2024

Dry and wet sanded joint compound on wall, imbedded instant photos, and joint compound dust on floor
88” x 96” x 36”

I embedded instant photos from my Install Fragments archive that depict mundane moments of my labor or of other art spaces. The photos are depicted in a moment of the wall’s preparation that debate if the photos are being revealed or concealed.
