A critical element to the new sculptural work that I’m doing is that these are unique pieces specifically made with a lost wax process-which means that the original raw organic object is actually destroyed in the process and replaced with, in this case, bronze. There is a way in which the actual replacement of the object being documented relates to the intentions of documentary photography, but I’m not sure what the proper term is-it isn’t index, it is more a stand-in somehow, a facsimile or relief of the real, a more physicalized way of recording something that is or that happened.

Zoe Crosher is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. She is primarily interested in the gaps between expectation and misremembering, what she terms the imaginary, perfectly suited to the historical conditions of photography, the documentary impulse and narrative.
