SIGNS, 2020
These drawings of public and private spaces (interior and exterior) are in various states of gentrification throughout a 15 year span. I’ve been paying attention to signs, juxtapositions of context, abandoned storefronts, scaffolding, development and making beautiful line drawings that are almost hypnotic and emblematic of the instabilities in what is going on right in front of me. Although these drawings are very illustrative, they also portray signs and signage in a new context. The craft of drawing helps me to focus, to pay attention to the details otherwise lost in common view, conceptualizing the drawings as a meditative way of seeing and being present. These drawings capture some very private fleeting moments that make New York City so special to me, preserving some of these thoughts, experiences, ideas, communities and hope.
