printing,
lies in its ability to create infinite reproductions, where each impression transforms the value of the artwork. It fascinates me that a single print can fill an entire sheet, eliminating the need to recreate the image every time. This unique aspect allows for a new exploration of form and concept with each print. I also find joy in developing my distinct patterns through curving techniques, adding a personal touch that reflects my creativity.
2024, Rubber pad print
01
Product of Expectations
The rubber pad print technique used to create this piece depicts students as products on an assembly line that emerge year after year in a factory-like environment. The top-scoring pupils are chosen by a big, mechanical excavator (which stands in for social forces), while the others, who are considered "average," are ignored and thrown away. This striking portrayal attacks an educational system that prioritizes academic achievement over all else and frequently disregards or devalues students who don't live up to strict standards. The piece challenges the harsh, practical character of modern educational methods and the demands placed on students through its industrial imagery.
