In the spring of 2013, I was playing a card game in my backyard with a few friends. The cards were left outside overnight. During the night it rained and in the morning I found the cards with one side washed away. The effect was beautiful turning something functional and unmasking to something aesthetically pleasing.
The cards have clear intentionality with them and it was my desire to remove that function, to create something completely separate. There is a new appeal created by showing what’s underneath something so common and so familiar, with a result that is completely unexpected. Each result is like a fingerprint completely unique and it is near impossible to replicate one unmasking to another.
