FRACTURED
The pieces in this series are printed on a very thin Japanese tissue which is traditionally used for conserving artwork and book mending. When I tore one of the prints by accident, I used the tissue as it is meant to be used - for mending. I liked the idea that a material so thin and delicate could be the basis for restoration and repair. I patched more prints with discarded scraps of tissue in order to subtly reference the Japanese mending art of Boro textiles.
