In Fringes, a series of figures is presented within a format meant to recall the pages of a notepad used at a crime scene by a detective/reporter. The text, written in a forensic manner, describes the kidnapping, brutal physical and/or sexual assault, endured by each fictitious victim portrayed. The use of crayon on slick, unframed sheets of vellum paper, aims to voice the suspension and state of vulnerability of the existing evidence for each case and the lack of state commitment to solving the crimes. In an attempt at honoring the victims, the figures are drawn at a life size scale, making it impossible for the viewer to ignore. More importantly it begs the viewer to question what individual responsibility they might hold, when such strategies of obscuration are used to plant terror.
