Erin Shirreff

Monograph

2011

Six archival pigment prints make up this quiet, methodical work by Erin Shirreff, in which photographic images are presented within frames of the artist's own design. Shirreff's practice often explores the tension between sculpture and its representation, collapsing the distance between an object and its documentation. *Monograph* invites sustained looking, drawing attention to how art history is constructed through the accumulation of printed images and reproductions.
