About
I am interested in the translation or mistranslation of experiences that occur when printing digital imagery on porcelain tablets, inspired to appear as faux printer paper. The digital space is a vast archive of individual and social behavior. We rely upon digital interfaces to deliver essential information as well as for social interaction, especially considering how covid-19 has forced many people to quarantine and work remotely. Though viewed as a vessel of stability, the digital interface is actually unstable. The information contained digitally is constantly shifting, updating and refreshing. Despite its fragility, clay is one of our most archival materials, having documented much of human development. Translating digital imagery onto clay allows me to physically interact with information that would normally be limited to a screen. I can etch and add onto the clay tablet transfers as a way to add subjective thought and feeling to these often dense and less accessible aspects of the digital. This materiality enables me to engage with my interest in the effect of technology on human experience.
