The pictures in Substructure Superstructure consider the questions and
presumed tensions in our relationship to the man-made world. The exhibit
proposes that our machines and technologies are merely extensions of
ourselves and express basic desires and anxieties which are in fact older
than human history. In this view, even residual, half-evolved primitive
impulses are materialized in our cutting-edge devices and dramatized in the
virtual world.
Technically, the works in Substructure Superstructure are made by engraving
drawings on aluminum which are then shaded with enamel spray paint. These
common materials have produced images which closely resemble the classic
etching techniques of drypoint and aquatint.
