A scanner is a camera with a modified shutter and an almost impossibly shallow focal length - a combination that allows for a photograph to explore itself as a scandal of time and contact.
The machine is used to meticulously copy, scan, and print - creating a series of physically manipulated collages using source material pulled from years of emailing men on cragislist about their desires. Language has limits; some perversions appear when we are pressed up against them. Or - this language, its history, its patterns, does not allow for a non-violent method of speaking about intimacy, about what we might want if we were outside of it.
