"Social Smoke"

“Social Smoke”, 2011 (in progress). Book art object with images and text in the form of a cigarette pack. Digital prints on fine art paper, foil, colophon printed on rag paper. “Social Smoke” is based on the premise that, from the point of view of a non-smoker-introvert, the smokers' balcony at a party always seems to be the site of the liveliest or most tender and revealing conversations. This project is an attempt to record and discover “once and for all” whether this is true or false. The stories within this box are collected from smoker-friends’ recollections of interactions on the smokers’ balcony as well as a few stories from my own infiltrations, hanging out with the smokers. (Story-gathering is still in-progress).
