Jeanne: The Print Center 91st Annual International Competition Solo Exhibitions, Philadelphia, PA

It is striking that each of the three artists selected by the jurors this year are using print to document different notions of history. Their works are varied in form and process, but all share an acute interest in the impact of the passing of time.

TR Ericsson: Jeanne

A lot of my work, whether it’s cast in ash, or nicotine, is purely photographic. It all inhabits this zone between being and not being. More hovering, more loss captured in a fragile, deteriorating piece of paper.

- TR Ericsson

With conceptual rigor and emotional directness, TR Ericsson uses the archive which chronicles his family’s painful past to explore the healing powers of commemoration and memory. He grapples with the powerful information contained within the archival materials of three generations to define both yesterday and tomorrow, as both slowly vanish as time passes.

TR Ericsson lives and works in Brooklyn, NY and Painesville, OH. Ericsson creates film, sculpture and installation using complex screenprinting and photographic processes. Ericsson's work is the subject of an award winning monograph published by Yale University Press and is held in prestigious private and public collections, including those of the Indianapolis Museum of Art; Museum of Modern Art Library, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Cleveland Museum of Art, among others.
