Photo LA: Artist Talk
The artists Zachary, Dan and Megan will talk about the works presented in CROSS OVER the curated, online booth from birds + Richard, that shows the Transition from one System to another.
Mourning Stutter is a multi-component project informed by the successive murders of black people by police officers. Consisting of performance, video, photography, original music score, and text, this project not only reclaims the freedom to access and hold public space without fear, but also asserts the necessity to imagine, build and experience joy freely in a public sphere.

This ongoing collection of work uses the apparatus of a 4x5 camera and it’s film to create in camera manipulations of the natural landscape. I use acts of redaction and addition by cutting and altering substrates that are photographed through in real time, forcing the image into a collaged and confusing array of light, space and form. My actions and images are a reaction to my lack of personal memory associated with the New Mexico landscape and the histories.

These works are a mix of digital collages and still life photographs taken in my studio in Chicago and while an artist in residence at the Wassaic Project in Wassaic, NY. Found images of fruits, florals and faux surfaces interact with scanned images of found objects such as carpeting, kitchen shelf liners and magazine clippings that at once seem familiar and foreign to the viewer. Domestic space has been an ongoing subject in my work, and I am interested pulling these elements together in order to investigate the constant shifting of roles we takes on in the home as well as our relationship to the idea of home and domestic space itself. Thinking about overarching themes of presentation and performance within the home, these works playfully investigate larger systems of patriarchy, consumerism and class.
