Representation Prints; Victimization Project

These Representation prints are single plate etchings. Each print is meant to represent individuals who have been affected by sexual victimization. After running different versions of the print...I have decided to run them as inkless embossments. I plan to use the prints in an installation about victimization and how it relates to power, gender, and sexuality. In the installation, I will place one hundred of these inkless (embossed) prints on a small table near an old rusty, gnarled bed. Participants will be asked to write any amount of words on the embossed prints in response to their personal experience with sexual victimization. The participants will then be invited to hang the print on the walls surrounding the bed.




...inking studies. I tried various viscosities and intensities of black, browned-blue, and blued-brown. I used burnt plate oil and/or gel to increase viscosity.

Video Project I: "ANEMONE"

...this video is highly compressed for streaming...so the quality of image and sound has been highly compromised by the compression.

Video Project I: ANEMONE is part of my recent exploration into the realm of victimization. This includes concepts and nuances relating to power relationships, sexuality, memory, and gender identity. Digital media was taken from HD video I shot in preparation for this video and found footage from 1950s archived films. All editing was done using Final Cut Studio and Sound Track Pro. The production of this video has been part of my printmaking and installation processes relating to sexual victimization. The installation will include a rusty bed amongst walls of small embossed/lightly inked sexual part intaglio prints. Visitors will be asked to write words on the prints in relation to their experiences with sexual victimization.
