In my work, I explore inter-personal relationships and the effect of an individual's actions on the surrounding human landscape. I am an observer, a listener, a story collector, seeking out the details in the patterns and cycles of our lives. The Direct Action Art Project featured here, is work that disrupts its audience forcing a shift in thought and perspective, causing a new series of events to unfold. These original mixed media and silkscreen collages will replace ads on the F-train. A kind of removable graphitti, the viewer will find the works placement unexpected and even slightly invasive. Ultimately commuters are the "judges" of the work, as they can remove them to destroy them, keep them for themselves, or allow other's to enjoy them. Direct Action Art is a catalyst for thought and action.
