N2 - In An Invention, Baker operates surgically on all 100 pages of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine, extracting and displacing meanings and temporalities.Through erasure, collage, and striking charcoal drawings, Baker tells the story of an airman in the Great War, exploring their own familial connections to the past, and contending with the trauma of war. An Invention is as inventive as its title promises, and as haunting as it is hauntological.
