Maligne Canyon Series, 2017

These silkscreen prints are made from digital collages, primarily using the clone stamp tool in photoshop. Some portions of the original images were left unchanged and other parts were rendered and distorted, making contours that try to pass as a representation of a real space. The final collage was then bitmapped and turned into a stencil for printing. This series experiments with digital forms transformed into analog, and what an incongruence, error or glitch can mean for either. A non-linear process embracing chance and circumstances.

Maligne Canyon is a tourism hotbed in Jasper National park, and the angles photographed for these prints have likely been photographed hundreds of thousands of times. The reproduction of images has a tangible affect on the environments portrayed, and the way people engage with them.
