Artist Statement:
I stand on the same spot on
the subway platform every
evening, next to the second
trash can, waiting for the
train. I want to be lined up
exactly with the exit stairs
when the train eventually
pulls into my stop. I watch
the express trains go by
through the gap in the two
rusted pillars. I am hot and
exhausted. I go home and put
on paper what it was like to
stand on that spot at that
moment in June of 2006 in
Brooklyn, New York.
“24 hours in the Subway” was
born that day. Each hour of
the day has a drawing and a
mood. It is a time line framed
by birth and death, traveling
through childhood,
adolescence, maturity,
decline. It is a series
describing the possibilities
of life in an American city in
the 21st century. It is a
series about potentials,
missed opportunities, fear,
accidents, attempts at
goodness, symmetry, purity,
hope, despair. It is a series
about, and for us....
