These pieces were inspired by my study of graffiti/letter structures and martial arts. Through the study of these art forms I have come to understand that the fundamentals of any art form must be studied and mastered to create a solid foundation before branching out to explore more experimental and abstract possibilities. These works are designed as those structural foundations of bars compiled, supporting and interacting playfully with one another, structurally ready to support the weight of what is to come as the succeeding work becomes more abstract and experimental.

This series of work was made in Detroit Michigan. The rounded corners and play of matte and high gloss finishes are an ode to the motor city. The rounded edges make the pieces un-framable and forever free, Instead they have been set off the wall to be framed by a glow of light.
