Justin Keller 2022, aquatint etching from copper plate on paper, 11” x 14” This work is inspired from a family archive of photographs ranging from 1970-1984. Made with the aquatint etching process on rives BFK paper. Justin J. Keller (b. 1999 in Montgomery County, PA) It starts with conversations. Family, neighbors, a friend orstrangers. People are the basis of how I create. Human beings and how they interact with each other is the most interesting relationship to me. The work I make is directly related to communities and my viewpoints on how others and myself operate within them. My compositions are meant to represent narratives that speak to the relationship of time with these locations. How can memory relate to how we live in specific places?
