FLOAT, AFTER ANNE CARSON
These collages are a mix of photograph, paint, and xerox copies, inverted to draw focus to the white text. The text is from Anne Carson’s Float (2016) and is stitched together to create a story of death and mourning. Carson’s passage “use a distant brush to paint these things” is the force behind the strokes, and the color choices reference the sky and its light from from dawn to night.
2019. Photographs with paper and oil paint. 17” x 17.”
