city view, 2024

This print is part of a series that examines different urban views by focusing on the pathways and structures that run through the landscape of a city. The engraved drawing uses repeated patterns to explore connections and disconnections between different parts of a city. The work poses questions about sustainability in urban life by using everyday materials as printing matter. The collaged plate is composed of 36 milk cartons whose texture emulates architectural elements. Combining the previously discarded material into large-scale panels offers new modes of seeing into the nooks and niches of the urban environment. I work with the corners that the materials introduce into the drawing and explore what ideas and stories are hidden in them.
