One man's garbage is this man's treasure

Hello!
My name is Darius Woo, and I am a registered architect who moonlights as an artist in New York City. I will be using Steemit as a platform to periodically share my art work and hopefully receive some constructive feedback from you guys! I look forward to sharing more of my works with you!

The Great Escape
11x14in, 2017

Fascinated with colors, textures and patterns of everyday paper objects, I compulsively gather used tickets, torn envelopes and merchandise receipts from my daily routines, and as a result, they become a source of inspiration and a medium for my collages. I try to animate my collages by developing a narrative around the seemingly mundane paper objects, and drawing attention to their innate beauty by articulating shapes and forms.

Porter In Trouble

Trained as an architect, I often mediate between my professional inclination to control form and composition, and my artistic instinct to play and improvise. The result of such a process is a series of whimsical characters, each with a unique story to tell, growing organically around the chroma and patterns of the chosen artifact. My work celebrates the commonplace of life, and invites its audience to appreciate the unexpected beauty that can be found everywhere.
