My first living space in Seattle was pretty sketchy. I had a room to myself in a run down part of the U-district with disreputable housemates I never saw. However, I thought the room was gorgeous. It had a faux fireplace and red carpeting and red curtains. I bought red blankets and red pillows to match. I left the neighborhood, but wanted to maintain the redness of my new apartment so I painted these. My exploration with painting tape took off in these. The lease of my new apartment and the span of creating these: 2/11/08-8/11/08
