Colour charts

The Colour Charts are created during colour walks where the artist collects pigments—gravel, dirt, dust, and bird droppings—from overlooked city places. Using watercolor, these collected traces form charts, mapping the city through experimental exploration.

Hear Our Houston is an archive of community-made audio walking tours (2011–2015) that capture personal stories, memories, and perspectives from across the city. Once an interactive platform, it remains a rich record of Houston’s voices, places, and shared creativity.

Hear Our Houston is a hub of public generated audio walking tours around our city. Mostly active from 2011-2015, it serves now as an archive, and the range of the collection holds up well.

All sorts of folks from all around town took a walk, recording their thoughts, observations, stories, memories, and knowledge along the way. Using new(ish) technology at the time, through the website and an app, they uploaded the tour to HearOurHouston.com where anyone can download it for free and retrace the tour maker’s steps, layering meaning into geography, and trying on another person’s perspective.

Hear Our Houston was used to document elders stories, help with community driven development, and as curriculum from elementary school to community college where students would make and swap tours “walking a mile in each others’ shoes.”

Most of all, it was a platform for artists and residents to share undertold aspects of their expertise on some of the most beautifully created and carefully attended to corners of this sprawling city.

GPS drawing

Drawing practices using GPS devices. Previously a planned route is studied. Although the drawing is done in the physical space, the creation must be seen through the applications that show those records. Also called GPS Art.
