This series uses the rusting of sheet metal (namely steel) as a process from which to pull 'ink' or medium, to adhere back onto said sheet metal in a representative or shapely form. The sheets of metal with adhered rust have various blown-out images of naked, faceless bodies, childhood photos, and text exchanges. The images often have digital fragments like pixelation, digital compression, or jpeg artifacts. The work (titled "Touched For The Very First Time," in reference to the Madonna song, "Like a Virgin") is informed by the digital era, and the machinations of sexual abuse and objectification in an era that puts technological progress above the safety of its most influenced and insecure body; the youth. These individual pieces are created in an effort to talk about the dangers of the digital era, but also the idea of 'virginity' and purity culture post-cell phone.
