Bio:
I select photographic images from magazines and weave them together by hand to create an abstract composite. Subjecting these commercially produced images to a process that is both additive and subtractive creates aesthetic tension by scrambling familiar visual information. The resultant photographic reality confronts the viewer with a process of decoding that is impossible to accomplish. The composite is then scanned and printed, producing a second mechanically generated image.
The final print rendered through this technique represents a cycle of mechanical and manual processes that ends where it started. The visual experience reflects how the mechanisms of the media shape cultural life; and reinforces how images, language and information are incorporated into everyday life, initiating a series of intricate patterns and relationships.
I attribute my interest in patterns and cycles, intimate scale, and craft to my Native American background.
Carol Warner is an artist based in New York City.
