In the abstract series Groundwork(s), I employ the distinct patterning from the soles of shoes. These surface iconographies, a residue that marks us routinely across space in time-prosaic, routine, overlooked, interest me as vestigial configurations of our collective history. This brand(ing) of place follows our movement and conditionally holds our histories in sand, rain, snow, concrete, and mud. Significantly they resonate with the flow of human activity witnessed in social migrations.
