These paintings are based on found graffiti tags documented while moving through the city. A hurried scrawl, made in seconds on a wall, becomes the subject of a slow, precise transcription into oil paint. Cropping and scaling are attuned to allow the commonplace tag to slip into the vernacular of gestural painting and its varied histories.

A separate index of site photographs with GPS coordinates documents the geographical source of each painting, providing an anchor back to the city itself.
