If we live we make marks

Traces

Traces brings us to the detail of the lived environment. It is where we find evidence of each other. It is in our front windows and gardens. It is in our discarded rubbish, unwanted clothing, and domestic waste. It is in the graffiti that marks our territory and becomes our art. It is in the rusting garages that we neglect. It is in the dust we shed, the pollution we create, and in the gardens we tend, and the colours we choose to paint our front doors.
