In the unique artist’s book Measure/Mediate, photo transfers depicting developed landscapes from the US, Iceland and Europe are layered with fragmented grids and a fluorescent 1980’s color palette, evoking the loud, but hollow promises of capitalism and its dominance over nature. The map-folded pages can be opened and closed, revealing vivid slogans and critiques; or they can opened and turned upside down to mimic the structure of a house. When all the pages are opened as such, they form a suburban neighborhood where all homes are identical in shape and size. The maps are printed with phrases like “market landslide” and “engineered legacy” that speak to invisible agendas and global events that can become conduits for (dis)functionality in the landscape.
