About the Work
“Walrus Meld” by Robert Koss
Materials: Metal Print (Dye sublimation process)
Series: Smash-up/Mash-up/Cut-up
For the Smash-up/Mash-up/Cut-up series of work I photograph plastic models I had made as a child, on poster board in bright day-glo colors that evoke the promise and freshness of childhood. I then smash and rephotograph them. Afterwards I sometimes combine the before and after photographs, other times use just the smashed ones. Recently I have cut away portions of the photographs to reveal what is underneath and create a sense of movement. This destruction of childhood achievement and deconstruction of childhood illusions results in works that use chance and the juxtaposition of contrasting colors to suggest depth and create new art. Evoking something bright and shining from the past though now broken and flawed. /Robert Koss
