These pieces are the core of my work. They are pieces I create about what it feels like for me to walk quietly through the city more than about just what Somerville looks like.

These are paintings developed on top of compositions I create by cutting away to silhouette before painting the surface with contrasting imagery. I work with sights of Somerville so familiar they’re rarely even seen anymore. They are float-mount framed, setting the piece a distance from the wall such that the display lighting creates shadows in the white-spaces.
