Portfolio > Translated Cities

Translated Cities is a long term project that explores how the daily use of public spaces fluctuates between the mundane and the symbolic. This project began as a series of lithographs made during a Fulbright Fellowship at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. The newest prints and large drawings were begun on my return to the United States and are based upon both a large body of sketches and photographs and my memory of the place. The first set of prints and drawings (from Crosswalk to Memorial) were completed while at Muhlenberg.
