clamp in wood dust, 2026

Another piece from the "residue" series that combines digital paintings and photographs. While visiting a friend's studio, I looked down to see a large C-clamp submerged deep in a pile of wood dust that had been collecting next to the table saw. There wasn't sawdust all over the place, just on the bottom surface of a cart that had happened to end up parked somewhere new; it was maybe a day or three away from being fully obscured in the slow buildup of debris.
