STATEMENT

 

Aerial vantage helps me find new connections with every-day observations from the ground.  Much like a map or diagram, I find that ‘bird’s eye’ observations reveal extraordinary qualities of common experiences not otherwise obvious. Overhead outlooks of natural patterns and footprints of human activity are at the core of my current interests and explorations with painting.  So far, I have focused on the physical observations, but there are also cultural, political, and phenomenological aspects yet to be studied.  Most recent work explores aspects of weather and lighting, and how they influence the character of a place or experience.
