Artist Statement
The drawings revel in the visual pleasure of moments in the landscape. A potentially myopic engagement with the environment results and parallels how we generally interact with and reshape the land. Drawings that describe stilts, suspensions, and out-of-context structures that bracket or support organic masses comment on the mutable quality of landscape and our inherently influential relationship with our ecology. Selecting, recombining, and embellishing visual specimens from nature’s grand complexity also interest me as fantastical metaphors for the human condition.
