Every day, I collected objects from streets in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Rather than collecting items for utility or purpose, I collected for color, texture, and form motivated by my instinctual perceptions. Upon entering the studio, objects were disassembled and reorganized into a palette once again prioritizing color, texture, and form. From this palette, I arranged, collaged, and assembled using a large wooden frame as an armature.
New York in Fall is an installation that creates a non-narrative portrait of the street in which distance and duration are collapsed. Objects become both decorative and utilitarian as their original, designed purposes become misconstrued. The portrait expresses the battling voices and competition for individuals’ attention experienced in the urban outdoors: advertising, industry, maintenance and the happenings of everyday life.
