BIOGRAPHY

Anthony Corraro is a printmaker and illustrator and currently serving as Artist in Residence at the Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, KS. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration at Oklahoma State University in 2015, and his Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking at Wichita State University in 2024. His work is a meditation on the philosophies of time, value theory, and the psychology of control. Using pulverized materials alongside digital tools, he creates ephemeral photographs and illustrations to challenge contemporary notions of art being a static, commodifiable object.

ARTIST STATEMENT

It can be difficult to understand the fluidity of memory. When we recall a memory, it is reconstructed from various elements each and every time. Every recollection is a unique phenomenon, though one of the greatest appeals of memory is the understanding that it is a reference to a time passed. In this series of ephemeral screen prints, I reconstruct photographs taken on various walks through the natural world using a modified version of the earth gathered from these walks. Like a memory, each one is constructed from a series of matrices, but they are ultimately made up of different particles of earth each time they are laid out. Photography is supposed to show the world “as is,” but each time a photograph is viewed, it is done so through a unique lens to inspire a similar but not identical recollection. Even the illustrations which frame the photographs, inspired by symbolic connections, are subject to differing interpretations. The process of making these ephemeral prints represent the dynamic nature of memory, a constant ebb and flow of construction and dissolution in an ever-changing world.
