These Are Their Stories (View Entire Series)

July, 2008

Samantha Scherer’s 3’ x 6’ watercolor grid, drawn from her on-going series These Are Their Stories, is based on the victims of the TV show Law and Order. They represent her response to our information age “sorting through limitless data to find personal truths... Here she has combed through multiple seasons, collecting video stills of various victims post-crime, rendering them in black watercolor on small squares of lightly tinted paper.”
