Speculative Camouflage Series
This work employs the use of colorful camouflage-like patterns which I refer to as speculative camouflages. They are tessellations, repeating shapes that fit into each other, made up of images of anonymous bodies and patterns that when combined create a multiplicity of images that have an illusionary effect on the viewer. They are a direct reference to the commercially made “magic-eye” posters of the 80’s and 90’s, where if looked at from different angles, various hidden images will appear. Through the semiotics of pattern and invisibility, they reference bodily anxiety, taboo, and the labor of daily gender performance to investigate the different shapeshifting strategies and codeswitching one uses to survive. Camouflet and Camuffare features a handcut self-portrait embedded within the print. Because it is hung offset from the wall, when the viewer peaks behind, the full body image is rendered much more clearly in its shadow form.
