A photo grid repeating Instagram images of the same place over a period of several years visualizes time as the continuous flux of life frozen into the static order of a grid.
Viewing both the photos and videos, one senses a time period of living and working in the midst of nostalgic memories of the past. The pair of silver prints are a piece of the past, simply because so few people print film photographs in a darkroom today.
Using the laser printer at the Chemung County Library District's Maker Space at the Steele Memorial Library creates a different kind of matrix via modern technology. The final laser-carved piece can be used to make a print, maybe the oldest technique known to humanity, as seen in handprints on cave walls in France.
