Description
In the early 2000s, Chicago-based artist Julie Weber worked as a photo technician for a popular retail chain. The first wave of digital printers was making its way to one-hour photo-counters across the country. Dye-sublimination printers, which use heat to transfer dyes to high gloss photo paper, became common as stores endeavored to keep up with the changing consumer tide from film to digital. The printer ribbon consists of a spool of thin polyester coated in repeating blocks of cyan, magenta, and yellow dyes. The dyes transfer to the paper, layering to form a whole, color photograph. Each image sent to the printer leaves behind three impressions on the ribbon, one for each color, analogous to film negatives. When a ribbon reaches its printing capacity, it is full of image remnants. Weber created the imagery for Remnants by layering, folding, rolling, and creasing this cellophane-like material into new configurations. On one side, twelve individual images are presented. On the other side, the twelve pieces can be arranged to form a single, composite image.
