Statue Target 3
Each Statue Target collage was made in 2012 after I finished my MFA thesis show at Claremont Graduate University. Earlier in the year, I had gathered the target papers from the ROTC shooting range in the basement of a building on Claremont McKenna's campus. Before leaving campus, I finished 100 Statue Target collages which I exhibited in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in July 2012 at Mio Studio.
I was thinking a lot about the ways art history has been mediated over time and how before the internet, image access of museum collections was limited to printed catalogues and printed plates that the public could request to receive through the mail. All of the cut out reproductions of the Greco-Roman sculptures are from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
All collages are double sided and signed en verso.
