PALIMPSESTS

As in the phenomenon of "pentimento" in which earlier versions of a painting are revealed as later layers peel off, these photographs consist of layers of imagery in peeling posters, decaying surfaces, or accidental juxtapositions. In the words of Nicolas Yazgi, these images "evoke ... the hidden wonders of palimpsests. An ad for some toothpaste, a communist manifesto, a god to praise, some movie icon, a love tag and many other erased traces of activity open up realms of volume and movement."
