This series of paintings was created using billboards – billboard material never used as well as discarded billboard material torn from structures it was adhered to. The concept of billboards has always fascinated me. First and foremost, they create an immediate and powerful visual impact. They follow principals of design. They mark their territory and influence how we think. Yet, they merely illustrate a specific idea. My challenge in working with billboards is to create something as visually powerful as the billboard yet going beyond illustration.

​

This work is about being a billboard, commenting on their effect on our society, on seeing, responding and life itself.
