When I moved into this studio, the floor was covered in paint marks left behind by the previous tenant, an abstract painter. As a sculptor, I needed a clean, neutral workspace, but also didn’t want to erase the history embedded in the floor. So I painted the entire floor gray but left a single square of the original surface untouched near the entrance. The preserved patch holds the residue of another artist’s labor, a tribute to their work, a meeting point between two practices that never really overlapped.
