ABOUT THE ART
This work is done in gouache, layering colors and patterns to mimic the complexity of a natural scene. The work gives the sense of precision and realism but is actually built of fluid, somewhat random and rapid brushstrokes, drawing parallels with calligraphy and abstraction.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The inspiration behind my work is interaction with places in time. How they are, were, and how they will change. The more I learn to read the landscape, the more it tells me. What at first seems solid and eternal, when viewed with older eyes, is a freeze frame of a world in motion. Things are changing faster now than ever before, and one can witness many things disappearing and others spreading to fill the voids they’ve left behind. The land around us is shouting a story. To hear that story, one must learn the language it is speaking. This is expressed through the life it holds. Life itself is expressed through patterns, whether the arrangement of cells or the behavior of organisms. In my work, I look for patterns, and try to use the application of material to speak to the story I am hearing.
