Asphalt glyphs

Asphalt glyphs. 2023.

Seen from above, this North Shore yard turns into a sheet of coded marks. Traffic arrows, bays and service lines intersect on a worn slab of concrete, each shape meant to guide trucks and forklifts through the space. At this distance, though, the instructions become something more abstract, a dense piece of notation that hints at the choreography of an industrial site. The small white vehicle resting in its painted box is the only obvious character, dwarfed by the scale of the system that surrounds it.
