“casting”(2010-) is a series that involves making stencils by cutting around the outlines of artifacts in photographs taken from the pages of museum catalogues acquired from around the world. The artist then uses the stencils with silver spray on the printed page, deleting the memory of each object to leave just an outline and a shadow where once an artifact had been. As a result, the artifact reappears with the look of an unknown object having a silver sheen and seeming to be three-dimensional. The process of bringing into existence a new image by manipulating the traces of something to reverse its shape—taking it from positive to negative and back again—underlies both the process of casting using metal and the processing of developing photographs.
