Landscape/objects of a disquieting event, 2007 - 2010

This series has grown out of a desire to explore the confrontation of something far outside one's normal experience and how this is embodied: the enormity, fluidity, chaos, stillness, and incomprehensibility of such a moment...what is experienced within, as well as the periphery.

As I've continued to explore this concept the work has shifted away from the more iconographic, ambiguous and referential objects in works such as "Memory can be beautiful" and "Butterflies and Flesh" toward a landscape driven narrative that presents a more fantastical and constructed sense of place, such as "Aurora" or "Scrim". These interests are reflected as well within the"ebon flow" series.
