Cameron Mankin

Cameron Mankin makes drawings, prints, artist's books, and games exploring the role of rhetoric in the shape of public space and personal identity. His work takes an archaeological approach, dismantling and retooling scraps from sources like old textbooks and discarded CCTV footage with tongue-in-cheek rigor. Narratives of student-to-teacher-to-student exchanges become primary sources in a search for ways to crack the black box of the increasingly streamlined systems we interact with daily.
