About this episode

Discreet Messages : Sentiments From The People is my way of calling attention to how we are surrounded by verbiage that is significant to someone. These messages aren’t your everyday graffiti but - words that I believe artists, as well as the general public, create for individuals who are searching for humor, visual pleasure or guidance. Since 1999 I have spent many days taking photos in the streets and public venues in New York City and throughout the world, where typographical art catches my attention and empowers me within.Although the original messages are not my creation, my goal is to document and share the work of these anonymous artists in exhibitions and publications so that others can enjoy their contributions. By focusing in on, and cropping these visual elements, my intent is to decontextualize the words to a point where they are able to work independently as my own message.
