Sedgwick, 2007 Latex and spray paint on canvas.

Originally the first group of spray paintings that I made consisted of randomly chosen words which I would spray then cover over. All were on 24 x 24 wood panels. I figured out the process but I wasn't completely happy just using random words. I destroyed all the pieces with the exception of "One". Sedgwick is the first painting after "One" to use a specific title that connects the physical process of making the work with the conceptual layering I was looking for. Taking it further than just a process for making abstract paintings or recreating urban facades. Sedgwick is the name of a street in the Bronx. The site where the flame of hip hop was ingnited.
