My work is about images and how they can be endlessly recycled, copied, or altered. I use photography and printmaking to experiment with images, and make zines or photo books to share my ideas. My latest work uses installation and an edition of zines as a means to share my experiments in the recycling of images.

My zine, Eidolon, is a collection of copies and recycled icons that exist in the everyday. “Eidolon” is an ancient Greek term used to describe a perfect replica or a phantom-image of something. The “Phantom-image” emerges in reflections, replicas, copies, and instances of mimicry. My goal is to point out the “phantoms”, or rather copies, that exist even in seamless places.

The installation is focused primarily on how an image breaks down when it is reproduced through different media. Images lose information through reproduction while new information is picked up with each reproduction. The original intent of a photo slowly disappears and is replaced by chance and error. Copies echo the original, but the mutations that happen with each copy start to become originals of their own.
