Concrete Thinking:
Abstract Ideas in Heavy Form 

The works speak in fragments — of possession, of place, of expression — drawing on the idea that we “have” emotion, memory, rebellion. Through layers, drips, deconstructions, and reassemblies, graffiti is stripped of literalism and rebuilt as abstract energy: an idea given form without needing translation.
