PALIMPSEST 2 : ROLODEX @ LISA BOYLE / 2005

Found address book, digital prints

These images come from a rolodex that I found in trash underneath a book about figure drawing. I was struck by the beautiful texture that had been built up by the former owner (perhaps an artist as well?). It took a long time to decide whether or not it was appropriate to reveal all of the personal information contained in this document... I never really made up my mind, so I'll admit I went the safer route by censoring certain names and numbers. I do think that, even with specific numerical data obscured, the resulting images still serve as a poweful record of the compulsive stranger who created the original document.
