24”x 24” Archival Pigment Prints with spraypaint, and thread, No Editions-One of Kind

In the ReAction series, we are taking everyday objects and actions and playfully transforming them with photography, painting, drawing, and sewing. Like alchemists conjuring, we react in the studio, mixing up materials and memories and creating new interactions, stories, and objects. There is a sense of play, abstraction, and chance combined with physicality and control through our process of making as we take the photographic image and directly manipulate the surface by sewing into it, spray paint on it, or drawing with charcoal. We are considering our reactions, actions, and references to those actions through memory and daily life.
