Each work is comprised of lathe-cut vinyl with home recordings, collaged print tear-offs, Xerox copy of collage, and woodcut print. In the installation each was framed and floated on a wallpaper of digitally printed Xerox patterns and paired with a small poem.
Lathe-cut vinyl records containing four home recorded compositions, each composition composed of the same four elements:
– Verse (A)
– Chorus (B)
– Bridge (C)
– Outro (D)
Each composition shuffles the role of each part to create the following patterns:
Track 1: ABACD
Track 2: BCBDA
Track 3: CDCAB
Track 4: DADBC
Records were housed in hand-printed sleeves featuring woodcut and collaged print tear-offs. Installation at WSU alumni gallery featured four separate iterations of the records installed against collaged works with Xerox and digital printed wallpapers.
An exploration of the power of components, repetition, iteration and a simplified set of variables.
