Description
Altered legal file containing photographs and catalog cards.
Instead of creating an artwork with the cards that would treat them simply as substrate for other media, I wanted to put them into a contemporary political context without any embellishment. The stamps and materials I've
collected over the years, (many of which were surplus from the Hanford Nuclear Facility, where the nuclear material for the first atomic bombs was developed) seemed so antiquated and nostalgic until recently, when they've have a more sinister relevance.
