Pia Habekost explores the duality of typography as abstract ornament versus actual meaning. Informed by instances of personal experience to current events in urban culture, her typographic formations address topics of sampling, interconnection, and remixed narrative. 
In her most recent work, Pia translates the typographic explorations of her paintings into large scale urban sculptures 
nestled between street art and site specific land art. The sculptures are woven into surfaces of existing architecture like 3 dimensional graffiti. Through subtraction and addition, the typographic swarms oscillate between ornament and built form transforming its context.
