Monument, Prospect, and Refuge (Monument, detail of analogue collage)
Compiled from vintage source material, the Futur Proche collage series are scanned and stitched together digitally, then printed with archival pigments on Tyvek. These works are composed in a long, tall scroll format, similar to traditional scroll paintings and prints depicting mountain ranges and canyon scapes.
