Aperture has invited Hank to celebrate its 70th year anniversary with an issue that explores the magazine’s past while charting its future. Reflecting on the founding editors’ original mission and drawing on Aperture’s global community of photographers, writers, and thinkers, this issue features original commissions by seven artists and essays by seven of the most incisive writers working today—each engaging with their chosen decade from the magazine’s history. Hank creates from the 2010s in textile-inspired digital quilts, a vibrant tribute to artists and mentors.

“Sometimes I see myself as visual culture archeologist or DJ. All of my work it’s bout framing and context. With this project I decided to remix images from Aperture's last decade of issues, collaborating from peers, mentors, and image makers I've long admired. The artworks in these articles are layered and multi-faced. I wanted to merge and remix them through digital collage to create a pastiche image that would highlight the layers and dynamism and complexity. This process of image weaving these images has been revelatory. Through this blending I was able to engage more intimately with images, the subject and the journey of the image maker.” - Hank
