ARTIST STATEMENT:
Over the last three years I have used painting and printmaking to explore the
depiction of isolated and untouched landscapes. I am preoccupied with not only depicting
but also experiencing place through my work and, therefore, my own physical contact
with the natural environment is critical to the development of each piece. After
experiencing a specific place I work in the studio to construct a fictionalized space
shaped by my encounter. I explore a site in different weather, light, and seasons.
Through the physical process of layering color and my own conflation of elements from
these different atmospheric conditions my work reflects a sense of both the growth and
disintegration of nature.
My painting process, which involves applying ink to wet paper, causes the dye to
spread, bleed, and separate into its composite colors as it is absorbed thereby adding an
element of unpredictability. The execution of every painting thus promises a combination
of chance and control. The specificity of mark attainable through screen-printing has
further allowed me to examine minute details within the landscape.
