Salt for Salt, 2022-2024

SALT FOR SALT SERIES —Salt for Salt is a project I started in summer 2022 in Sardinia that works with photographs, largely made on runs, holographic material borrowed from my Reflections series, and a hand-punched Morse Code transcription protocol — mostly Q code and quotes from literature—to build a one-sided narrative “conversation.”  There’s a lot of repetition, halving, and mirroring, and the visuals include references to outmoded forms of communication, such as antennae, telephone poles, and light houses, as well as vistas that feel post-card like, evoking as always, the absent other.  This is a body of work about trying by all these different languages and methods to connect across distance and darkness, and then choosing to disconnect.
