These works begin with consideration of elements in the built environment that reflect practices of privacy, barriers, and navigating shared space. Looking at both the general and specific elements of public lands, suburban streetscapes, and city squares, my process begins with visiting a site and documenting structures through photography and drawing. Field studies are brought back to the studio and developed through re-drawing, adjusting gestures, and isolating elements. It is a process of distillation and re-creation. The drawings are transferred to copper plates and printed as multiple-plate etchings.
 
Through this process, a transformation occurs. The constructions, obstructions, solid paths, and designed spaces become ephemeral elements – their original purpose overtaken or undermined through color, scale, and interplay between flatness and depth.
