Impositions (2012)

Intaglio monoprints
Chine-collé, collage, and embossment
5 x 7 inches each

This edition presents images of first-wave Ukrainians upon immigrating to Canada overlapped with collage elements found in false agricultural and economic statistics found in outdated literature in the Concordia University Library. This project imagines the voice of a silenced archive, and the experience of the Kulaks (tight fisted farmers) under the Soviet Collectivization Project.
