Ezra on the Kitchen Floor, 2022. Collaged UV prints on laser cut acrylic. 48” by 40” by 0.75”
Using UV printing technology in a signage shop, I created a one-to-one facsimile print of my dog, along with oversized florals, colorful moths, and tile designs that were edited from Home Depot’s online webstore. This work explored ways of queering print shop materials to produce something frivilous from utilitarian media. The work references a flattening of both the domestic space and the queer experience, as a conceptual way of thinking through image and materiality.
Exhibited in variations as part of Candela’s Unbound Exhibition (2022), Washing Project for the Arts annual auction (2022), and the Queer Futurity in Printmaking exhibition at SGCI 2022.
