Watching TV exercised my ability to subconsciously process images that were significantly different from one to the next. It is from watching TV daily that my mom learned English from The Days of Our Lives, that my dad learned Western comedy from The Jeffersons and Saturday Night Live, that my older siblings learned how to rebel by watching late-night music videos and that I learned my alphabets from Sesame Street. Along with steamy soap operas, science-fiction cartoons, and slapstick sitcoms, we watched campy Bollywood movies and instructive Islamic sermons. This early exposure to disparate moving images informs the way I select the content for my work. I use a range of sacred, mundane, and profane images that I have collected over the years. My archive consists of family photographs taken in the United States, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, found images, audio, film and video clips. I engage in the processes of dismantling, layering and reassembling to examine questions of language and storytelling, original and copy, normative and deviant. 2017-08-02 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1492399220029598 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1492399220029598 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
