Three enlarged and variously cropped snapshots of the artist’s mother. “The photographs were taken all at once, the photographer, likely my grandfather, moved in closer for each shot.” The pigment is a mix of resin, vodka and a silver metallic silkscreen ink. At certain angles the images are lost in the glare and become abstracted into spilt forms of silver light. “My mother drank. It’s still hard for me to say that. I never thought of her as an alcoholic, but she was. She drank different things, but the vodka was memorable. You can’t make an image with vodka, but you can use it to destroy the image.”
