Exposing Intimacy
Our experience of pace and noise is constantly in flux in the city. Architecture structures our experience of space, creating, by turn, intimate refuges and dynamic thoroughfares. My work seeks to explore these various constructions of privacy and violating exposure in public space, and to examine how such constructions affect our relationship with our environment and with eachother. The images are rooted in observational drawing. Each drawing is an extrapolation from the subject in life which attempts to draw out the sensations of lived experience. The work seeks to perform this experiential landscape through scale, and through the touch and rhythm of mark-making.
