Flicker Prints

2025

Flicker Prints are made with a woodblock matrix on paper, window film, and glassine. Glassine is a material I am drawn to for its protective role in archival settings. When glassine is hung from a wall, it is sensitive to the air circulating in the space and moves on its own. This quality reminded me of breathing and led to my curiosity of creating a screen that moves or “breathes”. I think of the screen as site for imaginary motion, in addition to the physical motion possible with the object of a screen, and the projected motion onto its surface. The gray and yellow Flicker prints are made to be interchangeable and hung in groups when displayed, the edges of the prints connect together to create a larger image with a single color gradient pattern. I conceptually link gradient brayer marks in these prints to the form and function of film sprocket holes. I am seeking a glow effect, as though these prints have light shining through or emanating from their marks.
