Michael Scoggins

Life Datesb. 1973

Michael Scoggins monumentally enlarges the childhood drawings, homework assignments, and journal entries his mother saved during his childhood. To do so, he meticulously recreates giant sheets of notebook and graph paper complete with binder holes and ragged edges. He copies his childhood hand onto these large-scale pages. Superheros and warriors, like the Ninjas here, are often used to demonstrate the influences of American culture and how it has shaped his life.
