Friday, October 25 - 3:25PM to 3:45PM

Now these objects are in my hands, to place within a newfound context. By creating single-edition collages on top of my own images, I recontextualize the significance of these found images by piecing them into today's world. Before altering these images, I preserve them in their original form on my archive, @the_artists_archives on Instagram. I invite you to investigate these images in their entirely.
