The Skies paintings and drawings began in 2014 after taking careful notice of our skies and recording from memory occurrences and passages of motion in which I found myself immersed. The large works are made with spray paint on paper and the smaller works are colored pencil and wax crayon on paper. One area of particular interest is how vaporous droplets create form. I wanted to mimic that dynamic activity and directly tap into it by painting vaporous clouds and aircraft trails with vaporous paint, while, at the same time, recording our presence within it through a form of visual poetry.

These works are documentations of air travel with a 90-minute period across the United States and Europe capturing our ephemeral, cyclical form in the atmosphere. Thousands of flights were downloaded, color-coded to indicate regional airline carriers, and then were charted with geographical accuracy.
