Using a variety of woodworking processes, such as edge banding, cabinetry, and joinery, I have created mouldings, raised panels, and compound mitre cuts in order to merge material concerns and physical labour into a piece that pushes my graffiti letters into a completely abstract form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The purpose of my project is productivist, the idea of making work to be productive, work hard, and learn trades to stay out of trouble. Michel de Certeau\u2019s \u201cLa Perruque\u201d where the worker borrows scrap materials to make a product of artistic expression inspires this work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Two artists that inspire my work include; the complex sculptural installations of Brian Leitch (Kelowna B.C.) as well as the explosions of form in the metal work of Michael Ritzmann. (Efurt Germany.) Graffiti art is about free expression and experience that includes the viewer in its space, I imagine my audience to include everyone. I want to make graffiti that even my grandma would like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><i>I would like to acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional unceded territory of the St\u03cc:l\u014d people (Matsqui First Nation, and Sumas First Nation) in Abbotsford B.C.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artists:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sag.ufvsoca.ca\/sag\/2021\/05\/12\/trevor-j-mykulak\/\">Trevor J.
