It’s up!!
This paper mural installation titled ‘While You’re Here’ is up until January 26th.
After my last paper install for the team asked me to create another window installation for the interim before their next pop up moves in.
This piece is all about my favorite neighborhood in the city, The Mission! Here’s a little something I wrote about this piece, my practice and the space that I had the pleasure to install in.
…
‘While You’re Here’ was created as a reflection of the quiet forms that shape some of the beauty in The Mission. Using hand-cut paper and frottage (a relief rubbing) taken directly from the square tile floor of this building, the work pulls texture and pattern from the site itself, allowing the architecture to become part of the image.
My practice centers on form, memory, and place. Through layered shapes, repeated motifs, and subtle shifts in texture, the work explores how landscapes—both built and natural—hold traces of those who move through them. Here, abstraction becomes a way to honor familiarity: corners, thresholds, surfaces, and rhythms that often go unnoticed but deeply inform a sense of belonging.
This storefront has lived many lives. Once home to the beloved neighborhood deli Lucca Ravioli Co., the space now hosts rotating pop-up shops—continuing a tradition of gathering, exchange, and neighborhood presence. This temporary installation was commissioned by Square as part of that ongoing evolution, with the intention of connecting the space back to its surroundings and history.

If you’re in the area and catch a glimpse see if you can spot of the neighborhood shapes this design was built with.
