Despite the speedy method of travel, people in transit are often stationary, held captive by the train. This allows an artist a fair amount of time to observe and discreetly take note of these passengers, whether alone or in groups, as they enact scenes from modern life. These wet media drawings on paper are a record made of trips on the train in Washington DC, New York, and Paris. Some of the captions are my speculation of what people are thinking; others are drawn from overheard conversations. Still, others have no captions. I invite you to consider what the people in them might be thinking or saying, and the next time you ride a train, ponder what part you are playing on a moving stage.
