Lindsay McCulloch, Silver Spring, USA, 2013 Trace is an attempt to understand the far-reaching impact of books. The attack on al-Mutanabbi Street hurt those seeking knowledge, solace, or vision in books, and thus my subject became the reader. The images on the cover are created from digital scans of fingerprints lifted from discarded library books. I chose library books because they have passed through the hands of countless people over many years; the trace of a person's contact with the books is hidden from the naked eye, but exists nonetheless. I have sealed the pages of the library books so they may no longer be read. Accordion-bound digital pigment prints with found book pages; Approximately 9.5" x 7.5" x 3" (closed) Lindsay McCulloch's work includes paintings, prints, installations, drawings, and artist books. McCulloch received her Master of Fine Arts in painting from Boston University. She has exhibited her work internationally in museums and galleries including Casa del Lector in Madrid, Spain; the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, MA; Bowery Gallery in New York City, NY; and the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, TX. McCulloch holds various awards, including a Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship and a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship for painting. Her work is featured in public and private collections in the United States and abroad. lindsaymcculloch@hotmail.com www.lindsaymcculloch.com |
