Evidence of Life
Maya Hayuk
A series of paintings based on photographs taken by the artist of a diverse range of workers she encountered walking on Market Street, with a statement by each worker as noted at the time the photograph was taken.

Capturing momentary glimpses of pedestrians on Market Street, these small figure drawings on a plain white background are based on photographs taken by the artist. These drawings of individuals and small groups of people are juxtaposed with reproductions of small sculptures of some of the figures. Numerous copies of the actual small plastic figures were placed near the poster kiosks along Market Street for pedestrians to take.
