The Smokes consist of images that are created by capturing smoke on paper as evidence
of a transformation and preservation of the ephemeral. During the process, credit cards, gift
cards, photos, and even slides of the artists’ artwork are burned to remove their growing
presence in daily life, and explore the idea of transformation.
