A Year in the Life of Fringe

Fringe began his series titled FACSIMILES in June 2020. The artist’s process was to release a single print per month for a year. In content, the prints speak about the power and powerlessness of words and serve as personal, sometimes indefinite responses to real events in his life. FACSIMILES are, by definition, ‘exact copies of written or printed material,’ and this the artist presents as messages from a place of introspection.

 The series therefore functions as a long-running narrative, of sometimes subversive quotes from questioning and questionable sources. It performs as a facsimile of messages, taking us back to a time before social media, namely, the time of the old-fashioned fax, and driving us forward with cryptic clues, to the present day.
