Concrete, Paper, Silver prints

2021

​

Thirty 5”x7” bricks are made by digging a hole and casting concrete onto paper and gelatin silver prints placed into the earth. The paper and the concrete together mold to the formation of the landscape. The paper consists of a text written and then erased, leaving only the impression of the marks left on the surface. Stains are left on the paper from such an intimate encounter with the earth, while it has eaten the emulsion off the silver prints, leaving a deteriorated image of a landscape.
