This painting installation is based upon my experience with my local landscape. I began this body of work seven years ago. It is centered on the landscape in and near my studio’s parking lot.
Nature’s form is a basis for language and meaning. As I observed the entangled vines in the hedge fence bordering that space, in my mind, the entanglement became a metaphor for the interchange between nature and humanity and landscape painting.
The narrative expanse of the 2d paintings attempt to recreate the experience of space and my sculptural paintings mimic nature’s form and blur the distinction between reality and illusion. Through performative interventions that incorporate the sculptural paintings into the landscape, the landscape itself and the landscape paintings become one.
