Xerox Paradox

“Xerox Paradox” is a series of experimental collages created by hand with a photocopier and traditional collage techniques. It began as a weekly ritual exercise, a dance with the machine. The photocopier has long been a tool in my work; this developed from my graphic design work which is influenced by low-fi art and punk rock esthetics. Each piece in Xerox Paradox captures and preserves something immediate, an instantaneous gesture. The images are highly distorted to begin with, created in a matter of seconds, and remixed to create the larger picture. Surreal psychedelia, physics-defying landscapes and mines of subconscious ether, that’s Xerox Paradox.
