Chasing Paper

Folded, loose, and crinkled papers of all varieties, colors, and configurations float, collide, fly,
and “dance" freely in tandem with urban breezes - yet go largely unnoticed by
our fast-paced city dwellers. Now they’re ready for their close-ups!

"If the artists of the Renaissance had access to modern technology, this is what their work would look like," said a curator of contemporary art. These hyper-detailed images carefully merge digitally scanned live flowers and plants with artificial ones, blurring the distinction between the real and the artificial.

Susan Kaprov: Auto-Portraits

These experimental black and white auto-portraits were produced on a Haloid Xerox machine, the first commercial photo-copier ever manufactured. After the image is electrostatically transfered to rag paper, the carbon toner is still loose, enabling me to hand-manipulate the image before it is permanently fixed in a special heating tray.

Sixteen of these works are in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
