1999 installation at Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies
10 drawings, graphite on vellum, 27 x 18 inches, from the Trace Series, 1997 - ongoing

The drawings from this series are tracings from various types of printed matter. In them I isolate, combine and recontextualize fragments of newspapers, magazines, brochures, post cards and junk mail. They take two forms: straight reproductions (with significant omissions) from newspapers and news magazines, and textual collages whose juxtapositions derive from multiple and unrelated sources. This installation used only images traced from the New York Times.
