Train Graffiti Works |
||
| In the summer of 2016 i started photographing the local graffiti'd trains parked on the tracks at Mapleton, OR. The railroad is an integral part of daily life in the Eugene/Springfield Area. I along with many others share a fascination and love of passenger and freight trains in the Pacific Northwest. My personal passion extends to train graffiti as a popular visual art medium. Some bad, some poor, some amateur, some professional and some really cool! Train graffiti itself is a melding of multiple layers of activity. Street artists painting on the trains and on top of other artists works, train staff reapplying train labeling, and the wear & tear of speed and time on train and graffiti. As artist in this series of work, I act as documentarian of the above activity, adding my own layer of visual interest. Shaping and reconfiguring close-up view constructions, adding my own "tag" and paint to these new artworks in a variety of forms and views. The project combines digital photography, painting, drawing and relief constructions re-utilizing recycled, upcycled cardboard as support. | ||
