Urban America

Medium: charcoal and gouache on grey paper

Date: Spring 2013

How do we navigate through the shared spaces of a city? My work seeks to activate scenes of contemporary urban life as experienced by urban dwellers. Drawing from my personal upbringing living in Los Angeles and time I have spent on public transportation, this series of drawings gives voice to those who travel on foot, by subway, or on bike and who struggle for belonging in a city of changing faces.
