Named for my former airline passenger classification, the prints that make up Unaccompanied Minor reference the constant construction that took place around my childhood home and surrounding areas.
Patterns, shapes, and textures are plucked from memories like photos cut from a catalogue. Images are assembled, or ‘built’, and mirror the building materials I would stumble over while playing outside. Wood, screen, shingles, tile, and hardware were found scattered across acres of property in piles all around similar to the layers of ink and collage on paper. Passenger planes, rows of seating, waiting areas, and terminal gates occupy the air and other areas of negative space in my compositions.
My process for this project involved finding links between identity, memory, content, and form, with the resulting prints emerging as unique impressions. Lithography, Monotype, Woodcut, and Chine Collé.
