Daily; uses is a series of meticulously crafted, limited-edition artist proofs that converge digital precision and analog craftsmanship.
Each print, a 16” x 16” UltraChrome K3 archival high-density pigment ink piece, is created on an acid-free metallic substrate, capturing a transient moment in motion. Framed with white-glove care, it arrives as a pristine object, preserving the interplay of chromatic divergence in its most elevated form.
The series is an exploration of digital still-life scanning photography, using slit-screen motion to deconstruct and transform the instructional material from prescription medications. With a deliberate focus on the tension between clarity and distortion, these images dissect the ordinary — the mundane text and graphic symbols of pharmaceutical design — into fractured, pulsating forms that unravel across the image plane.
This body of work is part of azmadik fotografiks [azmadik.com] by Kevin Stephen Hupfer, an ongoing exploration since 2011. With a daily rhythm of creation, each composition emerges as a chronicle of divergence and distortion, reflecting the artist’s ongoing dialogue between digital space and real-world materiality. In {d.2016, p.2020}, the printed and digital compositions fuse, transcending their source material to comment on the mechanized delivery of information — a reflection of the fragility and power of the images that shape our daily lives.
