Things to Tell Your Lover, 2013

"These are pictures of signs and graffiti, any kind of found text, mostly from New York but also from other cities I have visited over the last two years. A forest is cool or warm, very alive, filled with organic matter, soil and plants and decomposing leaves. A forest is filled with smells: mud, sharp pine, dusty pollen. Signs feel cold, inorganic, mathematical, from the other side of the brain. The city--as a place, as an idea--is a forest of signs, a merger of these two groups, if we notice. Without seeing, the city remains a template, a guide, a floorplan for my day. But if we keep our eyes looking, it's a natural place providing sustenance and inspiration."--from thingstotellyourlover.com
