these two are embroidered graffiti tags, about 6" square each.
I was looking to confront the innate nature of graffiti as being outdoor, illegally and quickly made by rendering the shape in the very indoor, time-consuming medium of embroidery. I also liked to talk about the graffiti tag as the name, the signature, and the way we sometimes embroider our names on things too. (there are of course a lot of other meanings, but I abandoned the series eventually because I didn't feel I had the right to explore them)
