Name/Title

Big Quantum Leap

Description

Spence’s photocollage work repurposes imagery from vintage British Columbia travel brochures and advertisements, cropping and dissecting the images into tiny pixels and rearranging them into abstracted, digital-inspired designs arranged by colour and value. Through the appropriation of voyeuristic images, Spence creates a high contrast between analog and digital media. By meticulously cutting and reformulating the original image, a new interaction emerges between technology and the private/public realm. This work allows us to consider our individual perceptions of technology, memory, and artistic craft.
