The Digital Inverts and “Dupes” are iterations of original drawings; composite photographs resembling emulsive prints and other 19th-century photographic processes. Deviations from the original image challenge the primacy of the initial mark. Blurring divisions between the copy and the original, they diverge from their prototype through digital manipulation and processing. Simple one to two-word naming systems correlate to primordial forms and the act of duplication.
