CONNECTING the DOTS: TAUBA AUERBACH

Tauba Auerbach's exploration of language through contemporary technologies is reflected in her pixelated prints and gradated color palette. Her fascination with craft lies within her process of combining old and new technologies to create tantalizing images. We here at IDLM couldn't resist drawing connections between Auerbach's prints and pieces from the shop - see if you can guess which is which.
