Sign Language

These works utilize common roadside sign imagery (sometimes combined with landscape) in layered and textural compositions that reference travel, the passing of time, and automobile-centered American culture. They were mostly created in 2003 through 2006.

 

Some of the most vivid visual memories from my childhood are the mysterious graphic images of disembodied signs floating past our Ford Galaxie station wagon as it rolled down the road. Another influence comes from my work as a sign painter in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania and the San Francisco Bay area of California in the 1980's. No computer created vinyl back then!                                                 (Left Click on Image for Slide Show)
