Recording patterns of daily activities and observations in journals, I use this source material to create prints and artist’s books. The work explores an intersection of mass media, consumption and personal habits. Transported combines scenes from a daily journal of my commute by bus, bike and BART from Oakland to San Francisco and back during one year. Drawings of commuters and diary entries are made into polymer plates, letterpress printed, hand colored and sewn together. The images vary with each copy.
