Dog Days in Retrospect is a series of screen-prints that delves into the artist’s material research archive. It compiles images from current and past projects in which heat created a transformation between material states. Presented side by side with Merging Fields, Splitting Ends (Sequence III), the series also includes research images from this very project: the roots and sprouts of the potato the artist has grown over many months, the bubbles generated during the bioplastic production process, fringes of the home-made bioplastic sheets. These are accompanied by images of yeast forming pathways between calcite minerals, vestiges of toothpaste, silica gel, eggshells, and volcanic minerals. The series renders the long-term research processes behind the artist’s works visible. All images are printed on hand-made paper, rice paper, and organic leather made from food waste.
