Watching: Sideweighs and Backwords

Overview

Using a monoprint printmaking technique to recreate archival footage, Sideweighs and Backwords forefronts the imperfect action of memory. In opposition to the immaculate reproduction of traditional print and digital media, human memory is exposed as a verb – a constant recreation of a sequence of events, a story we tell ourselves. The story told here is a movement between homeland and a new home, a constant traversing of terrain and terms.
