From the moment I saw the image, I envisioned a site-specific project that would play off the ambiguity and complexity of the scene’s fragmented architectural space to intentionally confuse and disorient the viewer, as well as to allow a dual feeling of intimacy and infinity to exist as spatial and temporal representations. The spatial consideration of reconstructing this image began as a ***hole-punch collage***, in which I copied the image several times, obliterated it with a scissors and hole-punch and then attempted to reconstruct it. The image itself took on the visual irony of the gunshot wound, while also playing with an abstraction of space and time, both inside the narrative, and outside it, including the abstract time and space engaged in my own translation of the set.
