Notes:
Redux is a series of drawings derived from documentary photographs of the Vietnam War. These drawings explore the historiographic nature of the documentary image through a process of interpolation from photographic image to drawn image. Working from the commonly held assertion that no amount of images or words can ever be enough to represent the conflict, the particularities of each chosen photograph highlight the staging of the image as central in attempting to articulate other aspects of war. These drawings sit in a precarious position with proximity to representation, highlighting instead the production of the images themselves through their process of reconstitution into drawings.
