My work questions what determines where it is acceptable for a person to reside, both physically and socially. It examines these boundaries while continuing to have an awareness of its impermanence through the constant material need to adapt.

The specific shape that reoccurs in my current body of work originates from the passenger passes for the Chicago Metra train system. It is one of the many the negative shapes punched from the tickets and often found covering the ground of the train as the remnants of it’s passengers travel. I have adopted this overlooked, vague mark and developed it into a personal tag. A tag used as a means of finding and identifying an acceptable, individual space in a constantly shifting, often public environment.
