Siobhan Sokal writes: "In this series of collages, I have tried to keep several things in mind. The portability of a work of art in the form of a digitized print is something that can be used to radically recontextualize the margins; that is, to call attention to the formerly neglected negative spaces and thereby interdict the supposedly representational qualities they were called on to express. Like most children, I appreciated the work of Albrecht Durer, even as his recumbant Protestanism left me with an inviolate sense of unease. I qualmed these errant embouchements with the piquant remnants of the disambiguated era that followed. In short, I was bitterned, quaffed, and periwigged. It goes without saying I wanted to share this experience with others."
