Extinct
| Extant is the first of a series of sculptural
pieces titled Game Theory. Each work in the
series appears to be a childhood game but addresses larger questions
about our behavior and attitudes. Obsolete and residual technology
is an important element in the work and residual print technologies
were utilized in the fabrication, including thermal screen printing,
ditto-masters and letterpress type.
A while ago I was given a large two-volume dictionary from 1930
that belonged to my grandparents. Leafing through it, I found
many diagrams of machines and technologies that are now obsolete.
It made me wonder if the animals depicted were also endangered
or extinct. Many were. This gift was the catalyst for the ongoing
series.
