On a road-trip down the west coast I became inspired by the dreamy, bubble-gum coloured, coastal California landscape. Venturing into the interior, urban sprawl gave way to dying towns and abandoned buildings. And I wondered what was imprinted on these artifacts? Once home, I saw with new eyes the many main street storefronts sitting empty, & I wondered if my town would eventually become abandoned; a ghost town itself, & so I began documenting the buildings around me. Gradually, a style emerged. Minimalistic, almost pop-art, and post-impressionistic.

It is against this setting that a new project has been added, a digital augmented reality overlay of folkloric creations that speak to both the history & the future of these buildings and towns and act as a quiet resistance to their disappearance.
