printed and marked

elvis related to police officers ...

opposing his rebel image with authority, he was printed and marked by the memphis police department ..

to represent this physical act was my challenge in representing this highly personal action of his Elvis's printing, and also in this kinetic action that surrounds art-making .....

making this gravure incorporates a process of thoughts and actions, perhaps akin to that of what elvis himself experienced ...

fragmented in our thoughts of who we may become, who we connect to and all the disparate thoughts and ideas in our heads, adjusting our mental picture as a way of discovery ...

then we make private selections on how best to represent our own individuality, uncovering and revealing this kinetic duality between who we are and who we wish we could be.
