This photo series is titled “Minds/Mines Don’t Care” and is a series of photograms that are cataloging portraits of landmines and explosives- I.E.D.s (Improvised Electronical Devices). A photogram is a contact print and is the writing of an object with light. Early photograms were done as cyanotypes and produced blue contact prints for botany studies. Similar to an X-ray it shows the exact scale/shape and in a way the cataloging the truth of the object. These photographs of bombs have a contrasting quality about them because of the simplification and slickness and the shifting of beauty, intrigue and the issue of destruction.
