With the subjects of the images largely de-emphasized and the often fetishized color quality of the medium displaced, the single-color images insist on the utility of Polaroid photography for imparting the framing and shaping of photographs.

They emphasize the generation loss found in the original sources, which were stills from different versions of the video available on-line.

Hey Come Here
日本語 "This comic is an attempt to address the visual motions of reading versus those of looking, which most comics inherently reconcile through fragmentation. I was embarking from a particular format that I’ve seen in some Gasoline Alley pages, presenting a singular image of a place, subdivided but not altered by panels, and characters move through each panel in the left-to-right fashion in order to tell a story. This format becomes problematic because the characters’ movements are beholden to reading’s logic at the exclusion of the space’s. A character’s presence in panel after panel, functions not to tell of the walker’s illogical perambulation but solely of time passing and resultant narrative developments. This comic attempts to use this format but remain equally faithful to both systems, to free the figure’s movement from the constraints of the (pictorially) contradictory left-to-right rule, but do so without breaking that rule or fragmenting the singular space. The format gradually complicates to accommodate for the walkers’ varied trajectories." - CS

Consumed Into Oblivion
日本語 Consumed Into Oblivion is a correspondence between two lives across a country. By documenting sound and its description—by rationing emotion with ideas of space and representation—the authors translate one through the other. Time and distance are effectuated as medium for understanding an intimate distrust and an ambiguous commitment.

The Draftery Fig. 02
日本語 The second issue of The Draftery frames works by architects, artists, and writers alike as alternative models of architectural production. These works are concerned with how architecture is manifested on non-physical sites—how architecture is represented as graphic object rather than as spatial artifact. The authors examine narrative, whether political, ideological, or simply serving to disclose meaning, as an organizing principle in works that function as public exhortations.
