The Legacy of Abraham Lincoln
As a printmaker, I use photographic images, photographed ephemera, letters, portraits and primary texts to explore historical moments in order to synthesize new constructions. My work suggests new considerations of what is remembered or, perhaps more pointedly, what we are taught to remember.
Most of this work was conceived during The Legacy of Abraham Lincoln Residency, hosted by the University of Illinois, Springfield.
