I am interested in borders and how they separate and define, and what the effects are when these boundaries are crossed. I combine forms from existing maps and manipulate them through stenciling, serigraphy, airbrush and collage. The fragmented words and imagery lose their original meaning in their abstraction, forming a conglomerate of patterns and shapes within their surrounding environment. Through this method my intentions are to invite the viewer into the work using radiant colors and weathered surfaces to reveal portions of obscured information after closer investigation.
