Description

By cutting, tearing, and creasing vernacular photographs, Joe Rudko creates works of art that meld memory and abstraction. He began collecting anonymous snapshots at an early age, drawn by their quirky content and his curiosity about the recorded lives of others. For this complex geometric collage, Rudko utilized printed photographs whose color had shifted with age. He felt that this change in color heightened the work’s emotional depth: "There’s a yellowing, tinting, and wear to the images that connect them to the past. They come preloaded with a sense of meaning and history."
