This vinyl artwork explores the rainbow as a symbol of peace, hope, diversity, and connection. Funderburgh’s playful arch aims to connect viewers, drawing them into the lobby space to collectively celebrate the beautiful diversity all around us and being together as a community once again.

In an attempt to offset all the flat patterned computer art I’ve been making I began experimenting with spraypaint and marbled paper. Paper marbleing is medevel craft that is rooted in the ornamental tradition but expands beyond the pattern and the predictable. Popularized as endpages of 14th century Venitian books
The subject matter is often formal explorations of objects that surround me in Brooklyn. After 20 years of living amongst the constant construction and renovation I’ve noticed some paralleles to the way the natural world is contanstly rebuilinding on the

The automotive icons and detritus scattered here are both litter and artifact. The scene references simultaneously a forensic crash site investigation, an archeological dig, and the rusted springs and hubcaps that lie in every roadside culvert. The American automotive industry has a long tradition of stealing from Native American culture. Every Pontiac, Winnebago, and Jeep Grand Cherokee seeks to evoke the majesty of a Western expanse they eventually helped to pave and demystify. The hunting paths of the Choctaw became cattle trails and railway lines that evolved into our interstate highway system. These mufflers and cup holders are a legacy we leave for future generations of anthropologists to discover and decipher, to make assumptions about our diets, travels, ritual, and culture.
