202 Billboard Structures

ARTIST STATEMENT

Thus the life of the collector manifests a dialectical tension between the poles of disorder and order.
—Walter Benjamin

My series of satellite prints is a collection of collections, in that each print houses a selection of things cut out from Google Satellite View—whether that be swimming pools, parking lots or sections of the Great Salt Lake. Though geographically they represent a vast (and fragmented) amount of landscape, the collections carry with them the feelings of smallness, vulnerability and nostalgia that I find inherent in satellite imagery.

These prints are, on the one hand, collapsed pictures of my own disoriented wanderings through the endlessness of a scanned world—endlessly scrolling, endlessly zooming in. But they are also, as in any collection, acts of love. In accumulating, cutting out and ordering each piece of satellite imagery, I have fixed them here against the perpetual tide of updated satellite pictures and the ephemerality of the internet.
