Artist statement
Images in my Street Layers series are digital collages of the photographs of graffiti and textures I find traveling across the city. I pull images from different neighborhoods and even times, experimenting with how they meld together, creating liminal realms that exist only through my lens. My work encapsulates the tension between preservation and the ephemeral. I encourage viewers to explore the colors and textures of the urban landscape that is hiding in plain site.
