    Two years after moving to LA, I made a series of collaborative “relationship portraits” with girl friends back home that I struggled to see in person. These are double decker works- paper recessed two inches below a tight drum of mesh screen on which elements float and cast a shadow below. All works were made in the color that each friend chose from a pack of crayons I had.

     

    Elements in these relationship portraits may include:

     

    -A collaboratively made rubbing of our meal table
    -A quick sketch of the friend as she sat across from me (and perhaps her sketch of me, and both of our written reactions to seeing ourselves through the other’s drawing)
    -Sun prints of our shadows
    -A cyanotype of the food
    -Monoprints of the food
    -Collaboratively collected 3D scans of our table and its environment
    -3D prints of the food
    -Flatbed scans of our hands holding our phones, displaying a favorite photo of ourself and the other from our personal archive.
