I made these photos at school while I was supposed to be working on research for a paper for Art History. I was scanning in images for the presentation and accidentally let the page slip while the scanner was in process. The result was the illusion of the page bending in space. I liked the effect so I replicated it by dragging cotton rags over the surface of the flat bed scanner and waving my hand over the scanner bed. These images came from a process that was totally slacker-generated and spontaneous. A good example of how something interesting and possibly useful can come about while doing something seemingly unrelated. I also really like the idea of making art when you are supposed to be doing something else.

plaster cast in cardboard mold. blue dyed reed. ruins, plant life, natural, fabricated, entropy, regeneration, biology, architecture.

a form of subversion. diverting diversion.
