These
paintings reflect my interest in the way that the road delineates and
controls how we experience landscape. From the roadway perspective, we
not only travel from one place to another, we see landscape in a varied
and complex manner. I use water on the windshield to create a shifting
lens for the way we see the environment: it both highlights and obscures
our viewing. Perspectives slip and compress, while shapes and colors merge
into one another. I also work with relationships between surface and depth,
between flatness and illusion. These images are born out of real experience
and have a close relationship with the medium of painting: its fluidity,
transparency, and capacity for layering, mixing, and blending. |
