SCORCH SERIES
Unsaid. Layered with distinct character
The curious beaten surface
Soil and Skin are temporary
Dust and Shedding bark
A trace of thick white zinc
Smell. Searching. Beneath.
BLEACHED SERIES
Landscape change is swift – by day – by
season – by year
It is beautiful and harsh – some days…
Stay and look again tomorrow – Have you seen my backlight?
Light – is everything
I am harshly soft, intense, and perfectly parched
TOPO SERIES
It is a gift to see things through a broad lens
Landscape, seek to understand its pattern language
Through these patterns I unearth a repository of meaning
The truth
These landprints are evident by their given circumstances
I see graphic rhythm created by local forces
SCAR SERIES
Man’s contributions overlay our indigenous landscape
The weaving together of these opposing forces can be both beautiful or
overwhelmingly jarring
I have seen beautiful things happen when nature grows back over a bitumen covered
schoolyard, an abandoned factory, or a crack in the sidewalk
An opportunist adapts and finds a way
I AM CALIFORNIA SERIES
I am Robust and Bold
See me – Celebrate the truth I am
Come in but honor my ranges of being
Take your time, be curious
Do you see me? (For what I am)
PLASTIC SERIES
The manufactured world we live within carries a cast of colors,
forms, and textures
They are often diametrically opposed to the characteristics
I see in natural landscapes
I find this appealing in contrast
The tension between these observations allows me to celebrate the stark differences
SKETCHES
Sketching by ink and by pencil
Connecting to the natural world, my design world,
threading back into painting and sculpture
Visual and word journals recording information feed off creatively in different mediums
Potent design ideas and largest paintings from small, impromptu sketches
