These screen prints are related in a way to the concept that I am working with. For a while now I have wanted to incorporate photographs with my paintings, but could never come to a decision. The photographs that I used for these screen prints are directly related to where I have run. One of the roads pictured is Gracie Road, a road that I run on from time to time. Back when I referenced photographs for my paintings, it was photos like this that I used. The reason why there is selective coloring in the prints is because when I am done running, there are only certain things that I remember. It would be impossible to remember every detail of every run. Whether it is a certain patch of trees, a stretch of road, or a meandering stream, I only remember certain parts of most runs. And my memories of anything for that matter typically are lacking color. Which is why small bits of color are added to the black and white prints.
