National Geographic (Epoch) consists of forty frames containing two prints each. Based on a piece by the artist from 2009, the imagery is of the recto and verso sides of clippings of photographs of mountains, amassed from the artist’s late father’s National Geographic magazine collection of the 1970s and 1980s. The print on each frame’s left is a frontal view (recto) shows a mountain clipped from the magazine, while the print beside it is the clipping’s corresponding back page (verso). The passage from left to right, from one page to another, is both literal and metaphoric in its journey from one side of a mountain to the other. National Geographic (Epoch) also consists of a text component. Disseminated in varying mediums, depending on the given context in which the work is presented, it relates an intimate narrative of loss that moves back and forth through space and time.
