About the Artwork
The Sound of Line is about my life and experiences coming from a rural place, but living in an urban area for 35 years. I live and work in metropolitan Washington, D.C., and in that time, I have unconsciously and consciously absorbed my city’s objective realities – traffic jams, order in chaos, inequities around me – but also the feelings associated with urban spaces: gritty streets, the necessity of being able to rely on oneself, the shared decay and gleaming brilliance of mundane structures and national monuments.
