Abstract: The show Standard Deviations is composed of fifty-six relief prints based off of the
combination and reorganization of two hundred and fifty linocuts. Within my work I am
attempting to create a narrative space that uses a combination of object representations to
form a single environment. The images produced by these composites relay narratives
through image and viewer relationships. Standard Deviations deals with the altered
perception, degradation, and rehabilitation of human and material components. It notes
narrative and ethnographical values through image distortion, resulting in an exploration
of mankind’s self-integration with objects of pseudo-natural landscapes.
The depictions used within the final compositions redefine and reshape the purposes and
definitions behind the original human and inanimate objects for the sake of finding
meaningful mythology within the everyday. Individual images of works included.
