About The Artwork
What can tell the history of a landscape better than a tree; the longest living thing on Earth? Trees are a collection of our history and provide us with a visual map of the past. RECONFIGURED, the series The landscape we observe today is one inherited from the past: a history of additions, subtractions, restorations and reconfigurations. Whether our surroundings are urban or rural, our uses and intentions for them are constantly changing. We introduce materials, we remove others. We excavate and we replace. The land recovers and adapts, absorbing new additions, covering old exposures. These paintings explore this relationship of action and reaction, found and imposed. Construction materials are introduced, forcing the developing imagery to adapt. Preserved areas are exposed, revealing history underneath. Resolved areas are altered or scraped away. Panels are moved into new positions or into different paintings entirely. Spaces are abandoned, dissimilar areas adjoined, foreign elements absorbed or rejected. The resulting compositions range from graceful adaptation to abrupt disturbance. Elements of ugliness and beauty, history and novelty, disruption and resolution reflect the information each of us absorbs as we move through our own surroundings. They invite us also to consider the cumulative history of our spaces which are constantly in flux.
