This brief animation was part of the exhibition PINK PEARL at the Gladstone Hotel in December 2011. Print media is often characterized by a material emphasis on subtraction and addition. As a dug hole is mirrored by the mound of dirt it unearths, any removal of material from the surface of a print matrix implies an accumulation elsewhere.

Well, I’m not a stud, but I was so happy to take part in this interview last year on Robin McConnell’s Vancouver-based radio program INKSTUDS. I’m moving into high gear now planning my second trip to the Left Edge to continue the research described at the end of this conversation.
