Mark Bovey Restoring the Ledge_
Apr 30–May 23, 2009
Bovey’s large-scale, archival inkjet
prints examine history from the industrial
age to the present while questioning
the state of Western capitalism. A
production-age ledger/scrapbook acts
as a metaphor for society in decay.
Using digital and analog images, Bovey
combines photography with drawing
to suggest personal, universal and
elemental worlds overlaying the debits
and credits on the page. The history
of printed technologies of the past
125 years—the ledger’s new digital
versions compared to the analogue—
emphasizes the speed of progress.
