Evidence 06, 2014

This is the second mixed media piece in my series of four pieces that visually describe my youthful years in the East Village. What’s different about this piece is I jump from 1999 to 2014 in a non-sequential composition. While I was making this piece Paris was the subject of a terror attack. I took my photos of Paris and intertwined them with places. Along with bits of text show my process in making art. Music has always been the chorus of my experience so I added two CD’s (that alone gives the viewer a sense of time). Like the first piece I embedded a mirror into the imagery to place the viewer in the now as you look behind to the past.
