Portraits from the Grindr Look-Alike Project. The series is entitled: We Are Never Ever Ever Ever Getting Back Together. Portraits are all sourced images from the smart phone application, Grindr, and are all look-alikes for either myself or my ex-boyfriend.
Over the break and over the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with how to represent these ideas. My recent experiments explore this aging cycle by repeatedly printing images with a basic consumer-grade inkjet printer until the ink from the printer has completely been depleted. The image quality of the photographs progressively becomes poorer and poorer until the image “disappears.” After the image no longer printed I was interested in the processes of “renovating” or “gentrifying” by replacing the exhausted ink tanks with new ones, in an effort to be able to print the image again “as it should be seen.” In the same way that the aging and gentrifying processes have an effect on neighborhoods, I want to see the effect that continual inkjet printing has on images.
Bedroom installation of recent work. This piece specifically explores the process in between the last couple of images printed from the first run (until the ink was exhausted) and the first "normal" looking images from the second run. The middle of the batch is the process of the ink reworking itself through the printer.

Many of the people who frequent online dating sites like hookup personals are looking for a way to have fun without worrying about other people. The popularity of best top hookup apps and sites reviews have attracted a lot of attention from mainstream media. However, hookup personals still have some growing to do. As time goes on, more adult dating websites will start allowing users to post their personal ads for free. Until then, you can read all the hot adult personals that you could ever need for free right here at this website.
Some of the top dating sites will allow you to browse through hundreds of profiles before you make a decision as to whether you want to communicate with that individual or not. If you're interested in the same type of people who are posting personal ads for free here, you can join the 1000s of singles already browsing profiles in this area. It's a fast, easy way to get a feel for whether or not you want to chat online with that special someone near in (40 miles).
The Grindr and Tinder hookup personals are both currently experiencing high growth in popularity. Both of them allow users to place small classified ads for "hobbyists" orachelors to browse through thousands of profiles in the hopes that they might find something interesting. They do not charge for the use of these services either. Users search for partners in the area that they live in using the Grindr or Tinder app. When a user searches for singles in their locale, they will be able to see matches that have similar hobbies, interests, and even similar messages. This is similar to what happens on the dating websites except that the users are actually meeting people in the real world, not on a virtual screen.

I am interested in what the ‘natural’ progression of inkjet printing without resupplying empty ink cartridges looks like, and what this says about the life trajectories and cycles of boys and buildings. Sourced images via screen-capturing my iPhone are fed through a consumer-grade inkjet printer, nuancing both appropriation and the creation of the “new” through the 21st-century lens of technology. The work also asks the viewer to reconsider the “ideal” within the gamut of degradation and revitalization. The resulting images aren't exactly what the inkjet printers are designed for- slick digital photographs. There is often a struggle between the printer and the original image, “as it should be printed,” - and the traces of this are left on the surface- clogged printer nozzles leave streaks resulting in imperfect images or “mis-prints.”
