In Rag Series #188–234 ("All That Remains"), 2026, Alston positions painter's rags as central aesthetic and conceptual objects. Composed of studio residue on terry cloth painter's rags collected over the past seven years, the work preserves traces of pigment, editing, and labor accumulated through the artist's practice. By transforming these utilitarian materials into a unified composition, Alston reframes what is typically discarded as a record of process, memory, and painterly innovation.
