Exploring authorship and erasure through graffiti photomontage.
My graffiti prints look into authorship and erasure. Each print is a photomontage of two photos of the same location, except they’re both one year apart (now vs a year ago). I wanted to show how the public space can change over time. Graffiti can be considered a form of public communication, and with time, certain ones might be removed, covered over, or fade away.
It raises the question of who is allowed to be visible in the public eye. My design process was to overlay pieces of the old image on top of the new one. These can be seen as fragments of “what was” on top of what still remains.
This was displayed at photo access as part of "The Unorthodox Image: ANU School of Art & Design" exhibition.
