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 natural 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
Ink and by pencil
Evidence of existence on paper
Observations - big and small - invaluable
Journals with invaluable information
Now or Never
Impromptu sketches - Potent design ideas
