Context

This work is a piece from a very large series (around 800 pieces) called Anthology. I started the project in 2007 and worked on it through 2015. Using an image data rescue program, eradicated data from used digital memory cards is recovered and saved. The cards are sourced from craigslist and eBay and come from a large geographical range of locations. The resulting files created by the software are fused together from disjointed and often-disparate subjects, a result of fragmentation in the data, which cause image truncation and hue shifts. Each individual file is saved and printed exactly as it was recovered through the restoration process. This piece was originally exhibited for my first solo exhibition with Document in 2013.
