The work

A figure held upright inside the city's static. Concrete carries the weight of the street, maple the residue of something once living, and the two are pressed together until the person and the surface stop being separable.

The marks read as signal and interference at once, warnings, distortions, the ambient noise a body absorbs by standing in the wrong intersection long enough.

Acrylic and oil on concrete and maple wood.

The series, Street Spirits

Street Spirits is a series of small urban relics, hand-cast in concrete with sculpted epoxy detail and sealed under UV-protective clear coats, each set on a handcrafted base of solid maple or concrete. The series reads Los Angeles as material: construction surfaces, street markings, film-industry residue, the layered noise of a city that keeps overwriting itself. Industrial weight against the warmth of wood. Signals, warnings, distortion, survival, held still long enough to be kept.
