My work is a contemplation of the landscape: I endeavor to capture the mystery of nature and our interaction with it. I am interested in how all the myriad elements that lie beneath and above us cannot possibly be grasped at once: underground waterfalls, aqueducts, and ecosystems.
With the addition of the architecture and its orientation, a subtle human presence is apparent and married to the landscape by means of roots or underground wells.
I love to employ diverse media in order to realize this harmony of natural and man-made elements. I use collaged materials, gouache and graphite to build up the surfaces of the work and meld literial iconography with surreal and invented spaces and natural phenomenon. |
