AbstractSF:  Under Erasure

Derrida, Gentrification, and Unintentional Design (tag lines subject to change;-)

I'm currently shooting a new series around San Francisco documenting the primary objectives are as follows.

  • overlapping architectural epochs and construction methods from a remodeller's view
  • Exploring the concept of a thing being put under erasure.   Basic deconstructivist thinking is that nothing can truly be erased, a trace always remains; thus that which is negated continues to live under erasure.    Yes, the band cites the same source--but this has nothing to do with them.   It has more to do with graffiti.
  • Contrasts of culture, and particularly the entertaining overlap of hipster and hispanic, crackhead and yuppie in San Francisco's Mission.   Throw in a few cans of spray paint and everyone's having fun.
  • No, I don't tag.  I find fortuitous compositions where other artists have gone before.   I look for the serendipitous overlaps. 
  • This series is much like the last series, but with better focus.  [hah.]

Bike City

For some reason I cannot fathom, San Francisco is the ideal city for biking.  Oh yah, it never rains here!  I knew it was something.   I biked every day to work through the Seattle rains; I'm hardcore like that.   But now that I live in the mission, I ride a fixie with no brakes, and participate in the culture clash that is Critical Mass whenever I can.   This series documents Biker culture in San Francisco in all its infamy.    In our post-ironic world, the "Outlaw Bikers" are now led by Gen Y hipsters, the Hell's Angels debauch a distant East Bay memory.
