“TVs” are taken from televisions in idealized room suites in home-improvement magazines and catalogs. I isolated the entire blank television screen, with its muted reflection, and digitally skewed it back into flat perspective to face the viewer. With their muted reflection, the resulting blank screens refuse to fully reveal the reflected spaces behind the viewer, but neither do they express the (questionably) seductive media that we are accustomed to viewing there. Instead, the surface expresses a kind of anonymous darkness in which one struggles to distinguish one thing from another.
