TONDO (round painting). Oil, acrylic, ink and mixed media collage on canvas. This piece is a fusion of painting, drawing and collage. It is part of my “Low Tide” series. This series asks the question– what if we were all gone, but our possessions remained? Perhaps they would wind up washing ashore at low tide, with birds foraging them. Who remembers us then, and how? Does it matter? Of course it does. The poetics of our memory weave us all together as human, even when our experiences are very different from one another. All of our possessions and all our memories become part of the perpetual cycle of life found throughout nature. No where is this more evident than near the shore- in tide pools, along beaches, and other natural water ecosystems where decay and regeneration occur so vividly.

Ships framed in a beautiful white wood floating frame. Framed size is 21.25 in. Diameter x Depth 1.5 in. (54 cm Diameter x Depth 4 cm)

My work examines modernism and our relationship to nature throughout history. My decades-long interest in birds developed while observing birds owned by my grandfather, who was a bird breeder during an era when harboring birds in cages was popular. My oil paintings are faux-collages on canvas recreating the forms of torn vintage documents from various eras. Color, pattern and texture are layered like sedimentary rock from our collective history, with details such as intentional drips, marks and signs of age applied by hand. Birds are the protagonists, foraging what mankind has left behind. In my work the birds are free, telling a story with fragments from our past. Also included here are my collages and ink drawings on paper, done as studies for my larger oil paintings.
