Artist’s statement: “A pigment transfer process moves the images from virtual reality to tangible reality. The steps in this process, from the initial computer work to the outsourcing for the actual prints to the transfer of the mirrored prints to the final physical scrubbing and removal of the paper, each step has its own variables, many of which are uncontrollable. The materials of this method are carbon (from the black transfer pigment) calcium (in the gesso and marble dust) and water (used to remove the paper from the transfers)…. these are also a human’s main ingredients. The process involves a combination of chance and control, central to the idea of not being in complete control and to the limitations of any human pursuit, while at the same time, being driven by the operation of creation and destruction.
