Edges Revisited

When the pandemic started, I shifted away from my studio and began making intimate works at home. The process I chose is lumen printing (click for info).
Usually utilitarian and meant to be hidden, tape joins separate pieces, mends tears or is discarded after operating as a boundary for paint. In the Edges Revisited series, masking tape designs are used as transparencies for making lumen prints. Elevating this humble material from sideliner to main event parallels and reinterprets the still-life tradition. The use of simple tape can be seen as a metaphor for the fight to be heard, seen, valued and taken seriously.
