innocence project
the innocence project - 2013-2014
pyrography, laser prints, on 22 sheets of Thai mulberry paper
each sheet 35” x 27”
The innocence project is a visual translation of the lost time that wrongly incarcerated individuals have spent in U.S. prisons on death row since 1973. The piece consists of 28 panels, each comprised of 4 sheets of paper, layered and stitched together. A grid of rectangles has been burned through the top two layers of paper. Each rectangle represents one week of incarceration - a total of 100,000+ weeks served by 156 inmates. QR codes when scanned with an app on a smart phone reveal the name of each individual, the dates of his or her incarceration and eventual exoneration.
