Painter and printmaker currently living in London.
Into Flight
Softground and hardground etching with aquatint on chine colle
19" x 15"
The hybrid landscapes that I paint chart loose and abstracted scenes of construction, destruction and the suspended chaos that often accompanies the two. I work from stacks of saved and categorized photos pulled from online news.
Online news is often accompanied by entire slide shows of photos capturing the drama and dynamism of the disaster and the surprising and unplanned landscape that is the deconstructed physical manifest. Sorting these pictures is a way of mapping my relationship to my landscape. Pattern, shape, color and event overlap and repeat in a complex rhizome charting the ebb and flow of civilization vs. nature. I work from the connections I find in the process of organizing my piles of collected photos, decontextualizing the subject action from any one specific event.
