A visual exploration of the idea that the sidewalks on which I travel greatly affected my point of view.  In my neighborhood where tree roots protrude through old walkways, I have to look down or risk tripping if my gaze shifts upwards.  On smooth sidewalks I look up, take in the world surrounding me and walking is automatic.  How does this simple little fact of our personal geography taint our view on life in general?  This series documented sidewalks around central Denver.  Each object was created by photographing individual segments of sidewalks which were printed onto canvas, seamed and machine stitched together into blocks.
