About the Item

I salvage vinyl street banners that would otherwise be discarded in landfills, using their words, colors, and imagery as a starting point for my creative process. These reclaimed materials serve as message boards of societies, evoking both place and time through their physical presence. By meticulously hand-cutting the material into strips, I fracture the original image, disrupting the intended message of the printed information. As I weave the assorted strips together, the images disintegrate into complex abstract shapes and color schemes. The resulting pixelated forms further deconstruct the original image, transforming it into a new narrative.
