    Michael Scoggins monumentally enlarges the childhood drawings, homework assignments, and journal entries his mother saved during his school days. To do so, he meticulously recreates giant sheets of notebook and graph paper complete with binder holes and ragged edges. Onto these austere surfaces, with an easy hand, he copies his childhood writing. There is a nostalgic heroism to Scoggins's art, most apparent in his 'trading cards,' images of invented superheroes with names like Power, Captain X and Steel.
