The Joel Steinberg Series explored the coverage of the trial of Joel Steinberg, the disbarred NY attorney convicted of beating his young child to death. The media coverage of the trial focused on Steinberg's battered mate, obsessed with her culpability. With headlines inquiring, “…how could any mother no mater how battered fail to help her dying child?”, my work shifted the gaze, both literally and figuratively, from the victims back to the accused and the media itself, combining digital imagery with text from the coverage of the trial.
