For her work “Flow,” Tonja Torgerson creates a screenprinted installation which is wheat-pasted into public environments. This work consists of large screenprints on newsprint that are cut out into individual pieces and then pasted directly unto an outdoor surface. The piece consists of a female figure covering a wound in her arm, from which a cloud of money is streaming. This work considers the vulnerability of the body, allowing for a moment of discovery by presenting itself in an unexpected location. The work’s temporality mirrors the impermanence of our own lives, at first seemingly endless but quickly degrading until completely dissolved the matter of the world.
