Here’s my two-piece entry into the Got Ya Covered invitational group competition! I began by sifting through some vinyl records the Morningside music department was willing to let me use, and I settled on The Pride of America: The Golden Age of the American March. This selection in combination with my route forward has environmental and political resonance.
A straightforward painted image on the record ultimately felt too detached from my practice, which focuses on ecology and materiality. I found myself more interested in the record as a petroleum-based artifact of human industry and consumption, and decided to pursue natural degradation and corrosion as my artistic approach.
Below are the the finished pieces!
Remnant, mixed media including layered stains on deteriorated album jacket, 12.5x12.5”, 2026.
Relic, mixed media including patination and surface accretion on vinyl record, 12.1x12.1x.2”, 2026.
