Andy Mattern
Standard Size | In "Standard Size" Andy Mattern transforms the ostensibly inconsequential materials of the photographer’s studio into a collection of formally composed objects, which he then documents photographically. Discardable photo paper boxes rife with corporate marketing cliché become geometric and abstract compositions when he physically removes or redacts text and imagery found on the box. Using a process of cutting and sanding stock imagery off surfaces, covering logos and text with various colored masking tape, Mattern delivers a new surface both contained and freed. www.andymattern.com
