About this artwork
In 2016 I lived in a Coastal Oregon village with a stretch of train layover tracks where freight cars were temporarily stored. On bike commutes and during walks I began photographing the train cars up close. Graffiti up close is an abstract experience of paint and gesture. I decided to stitch together hi-res shots, mount and trim them on thick tri-wall industrial cardboard to create relief, wall hanging graffiti train cars for exhibition. I also…
made a variety of freeform, shaped artworks, extracted, composited and painted with my own post-graffiti additions to create whole compositional works. The concept of this Train Graffiti series, is to offer art patrons documented graffiti'd train cars and meld them into whole compositional works with exacting detail from small hobo graffiti down to the fine detail of the cars themselves.
