Molly Springfield is an artist who makes drawings and installations based on textual artifacts. Balancing a deadpan, ironic sensibility with historical homage, Molly's work addresses oppositions between reproduction and originality, reading and seeing, technology and labor, memory and nostalgia, digital and analog, and pencil and print.

Molly's current projects include an ongoing series of drawings of photocopies of printed texts; a mixed-media project based on the life and writings of the 19th-century photography visionary William Henry Fox Talbot; an investigation into how handwritten marginalia reveals relationships betweeen readers and books; and a visual "translation" of the first fifty pages of Swann's Way in the form of drawings made from every existing English edition of Proust's novel.
