Miranda Lichtenstein, “more ME than mine”

Lichtenstein’s metier is still life, and here she's engaged in a collaborative recycling project of sorts with artist Josh Blackwell. On view are images she took of Blackwell’s sculptural works, which are stitched out of discarded plastic shopping bags from bodegas. In Lichtenstein’s photos, Blackwell’s pieces are framed in close-up, exposing topological-like features resulting from his process of cutting, puncturing, ironing, painting and sewing together the bags.
