Fish Soup Diamond Swamp Painting

My work is an investigation into the meaning of landscape. Although I primarily choose to paint I'm less a traditional painter, more a curious one looking for ways to use paint and the language of abstraction to discover things hard to grasp and hard to define. I think of paintings as objects manifested from different landscape as a region of space neither here nor there, internal and external, at once close and yet far away. An environment is a region that makes up both our internal space and external space: mutable landscapes with indivisible boundaries exerting invisible influences as our connection to nature. I work with a mixture of materials - oils, acrylics, photography, 3d rendering software - that all contribute to an ongoing process to understand how they might relate to one another. Most recently I've been digitally combining landscape photography and sculptural interventions with old photographs to highlight a separation between these two spaces. What emerges moves between the past and present, and I hope that the work triggers a conversation about our connection to landscape.
