Selected "Burnouts"
2007-ongoing, silver gelatin prints

Darkroom effects are used to isolate and distort bits of advertisement language. The texts come from a collection of letterpress posters made by the Colby Poster Company that had been stapled to utility poles or zip tied to fences around Los Angeles between 2004 and 2012.
