This is a continuation of two paintings I made in 2013 called Of Being in Nothingness for the show, [Lack of] Being. Below is the original write-up of concentrating on this landscape. It drew me back in this year, so I painted a third for the series. These paintings are inspired by a few infrared photographs (of mine) as well as taken from memory. I was on top of a mountain south of Big Sur. It was a clear morning after a rainy day. We had hiked off the trail and camped in a clearing matted down by deers (presumably). The mountaintop we stood on put us at the same level as the clouds, and I could see the tops and bottoms with a dark line in between. I had never seen clouds at this perspective before. I aimed to paint these two images as a floating space in which to exist; a space with no ground and infinite sky. While on the same level as the clouds I could barely see the ocean below, and it looked as if the sky stretched in both directions.

Rhea Cutillo is a contemporary artist concerned with the human-nature relationship and wide open spaces both in the physical, ecological world and in the internal, cerebral realm. She has exhibited across the United States and internationally, including the Alexandria Museum of Art, Yellowstone Art Museum and the award-winning festival List í Ljósi. Her work is in private collections across North America and the U.K. She is a graduate of The Barnes Foundation Museum Barnes-de Mazia Program, Philadelphia PA; Mills College, Oakland, CA (B.A. 2011); and attended the Leroy E. Hoffberger Graduate School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Rhea Cutillo is both an artist and herbalist. Her studies at The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, Oregon, and the East West School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, California have informed her worldview of natural reciprocity and the need for ecological and cultural reconciliation. Currently a Dean's Merit Scholar at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, her projects focus on the importance of embodied knowledge to understand space and place. Her work stems from a recognition that it is not just the biosphere that is disappearing, but our heritage and communion with the land is in question as well. In 2022, her work was published in New American Paintings Magazine #138 and PXV Art Mag #5. In Spring 2023 she lectures and exhibits with Philadelphia Water Works on the impacts of climate change.
