All the prints in my show were made with a Risograph printer, a tool tradition- ally used to mass-produce prints cheaply and quickly. The Risograph ink is semi-transparent, which allowed me to overlay multiple images on the same sheet of paper. My work explores the confusion and complexity of navigating information in a globalized world in which we are subjected to an endless stream of world news, instagram lattes, political agendas, and cat videos. Does unlimited access to information via Facebook and Twitter make us into better citizens and more compassionate people, or do the bizarre juxtapositions they create muddy the waters as we try to distinguish fact from fiction, serious from frivolous, sacred from sacrilegious? My work wrestles with the modern reality of disembodied social interations and public discourse—the fact that we increasingly experi- ence meticulously manicured, two-dimensional representations of people rather than real, particular people. This body of work is an invitation to consider the amount of information we consume, the way in which we consume it, and the implications of our consumption.
