Created for Mapping the Self exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, this work used photographs I took as a child as the source material for the architectural drawing and a walk I would do as a child as the line that expands out of the drawing. I grew up in the neighborhood where the MCA now stands and the early photos were for a school project where I innocently documented and described the changes in my neighborhood. I had kept the photos and description cards for all these years because I found it interesting that as a small child I would choose to document what we now call gentrification. The green area is the shape of the linear drawing inverted, echoing the inversion of the neighborhood from brownstones to skyscrapers.
