Graffiti was what drew my attention to walls initially, but I was always interested in more than just documenting a tag, piece, or stencil. I was interested in the spaces where graffiti was found: the back alleys, parking lots, dumpsters and train cars – places and things that we tend to disregard. Later I began to see these walls as a kind of palimpsest, as a form of collage, process and abstract art – albeit an art with multiple authors and in a constant state of flux due to forces both natural and human.
