Untitled (floating fabric and smoke) Painting

The images I make are often informed by my concern with environmental chaos and the idea that it reflects our collective emotional dysfunction as a species.It is said that we are the only species that does not automatically act in our own interest. In my images a strong wind or a storm become metaphors for our collective emotional crisis and disharmony. This idea is common in various Art traditions. Japanese paintings and prints, for instance. Here, a floating piece of fabric may suggest the garment of an imaginary witness to earthly destruction; perhaps an image of our higher nature and better judgement that has become separated from our actions. My images are often influenced by historical Japanese images in which historical scenes feel very much like fantasy, and where even the harshest and most painful subject is made beautiful. Perhaps the viewer will be a little confused by the contrast between the lyricism of the image and the ideas behind it. It is my intention to confuse…I believe the contrast heightens the sense of threat.
