Urban Remains

Before I moved to the Kansas City area early in 2005, my studio was in a 130-year old brick building located in the South Bronx, a former warehouse that had been converted to rough lofts. I spent a lot of time wandering through old industrial neighborhoods. I began to see the beauty of urban decay – abandoned vehicles, run-down subway stations, deteriorating buildings, rusting equipment, construction debris. These visions inspired me to create a series of small paper and mixed-media constructions, which capture the melting overflow of another time. I call the series Urban Remains.
