My current body of work draws from my relationship with Donora, Pennsylvania, a town that rose and fell with the life and death of the American steel and zinc industries. Made infamous by a deadly smog that killed twenty people in 1948, my family lived and worked in Donora and the surrounding northern Appalachian area for generations. While I did not grow up there, my inherited memories of the region fuel this work. This collection of printed works explores memory through the labor of repeated recollection. Each print is a record of all the prints before it, and a story for the prints yet to be made. Like memories, the prints are altered by multiple forces, some corrosive, and degrade over time. This particular work was made through the repeated etching of copper plates until the ten frames of the original animation were completely erased. While repetition creates the imagery, it is the repeated care of the process that slowly degrades it. Time is then slowed down and sped up through printed and animated sequences. This passage of time is my family heirloom.
