Graffiti

For the past three weeks I have been playing with this new idea in the studio. The gray forms are based on tags in my neighborhood along my daily commute, on vacant buildings, crumbling brick walls, old factories. As I get to know my new neighborhood I grow accustom to the graffiti. It is as unique as handwriting. New forms arrive, they build up on each other, begin to over lap. 

I made these gray forms, one every day for a few weeks, and pinned them to my studio wall. I have an idea to continue photographing them in the style of a stop animation film. This is the first attempt, but I'll keep you updated with any new developments in the project.
