34 x 46 Giclee on canvas from photographs digitaly collaged

This collage is based on pedestrian pathway signs along the Hudson River Park in New York City. The signs intrigue me as they are of a universal generic symbol spray painted onto the pathway using a stencil, yet due to application and weathering no two images are alike. In this collage I have inerted the tones to show the white figures on dark gray asphalt to appear as dark figues on a lighter gray background.

As I work on my art, I think of how people influence one another and their environment - even by just walking past each other. We breathe the same air, drink the same water and share unseen microorganisms. These are forms of communication and interaction. We are affected by each other and by the world around us. We live on a cellular level and a cosmic level: Inner Space and Outer Space.
