Tourist Postcard (Downstate Correctional Facility) 2009

Recently I have been taking pictures of prisons for a series of postcards that mimic tourist postcards. This one was printed at the Lower Eastside Printshop where I'm currently doing a print residency. It's a ink jet print with a self adhesive laminate. I'm going to mail it to the Museo de Arte del El Salvador (MARTE) for a show I'm in later this month. The process of mailing the postcard (wear and tear, postal markers) will add the final touches to the piece.
