For the last two years, as I've been working and traveling, I've been doing an ongoing series of photographs that depict the trucks I always find myself behind out there on the freeway. I have about 30 to 40 of these already, and continue to collect and save them. The trucks I started seeing years ago were so flat in my frontal vision, and as I would miss being in my studio when out on the road, I found myself studying the trucks as I would a painting. They often had dirt or paint schemes that registered on my mind like canvases in the studio. I often found myself wanting to paint or repeat a gesture similar to what I was seeing in front of me, right there on the backside of a dirty, or re-painted truck. This is the work I do outside of my studio, when I travel, this is my sketchbook.
