These photographs of a bulletin post at the University of Chicago were taken on March 24, 2007. The work was not completed until June 2009 because of two surgeries on my right knee and the ordinary details of life.

The texture of this form of communication caught my eye. The collection of announcements over time, its exposure to the elements and the public presented a wonderful opportunity for exploration.

Prints are individually made by me, only when requested, using high resolution archival pigment and paper. Each pigment print is inspected, signed on the back, and dated with the month and year in which the print was made.

Names used in this series are reference points, not indications of intent. They are simple verbalizations; one aspect of what the image might suggest or a description of a single visual element.
