ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Original acrylic painting and collage on heavyweight Arches watercolor paper. This painting is part of my “Waterfront” series, a group of collage-painting hybrids inspired by the Brooklyn waterfront near my studio. The waterfront is where our relationship with nature plays out in its most tangible form- it is the nexus of climate change and civilization. In this series, I explore man-made rock barriers that protect against tides along the waterfront, where many species of birds migrate through. Birds are the protagonists, usurping the place of humans. They forage objects or scraps of paper left behind by mankind. This series asks us to consider our impact on our planet while there is still time. This work on paper ships unframed with my framing recommendations inside. Collector must frame it on their own.

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.
