About The Artwork

Limited Edition Fine Art Print Drydock (The Salish), 1/5 27 x 36 inches (image size) on 37 x 46.5 inch sheet 1/5 31 x 40 inches on canvas 1/3 $2,500 15 x 19 inches (image size) on 17 x 22 sheet 1/35 $390 "Drydock" is a portrait of the Salish ferry in the moment the scaffolds were being removed after a long repair. I arrived with my camera just it was wheeled out to sea, pulled by a tiny truck on massive tracks. This print is part of a series called "Industrial Pastorale" which explores the liminal zone between pastoral landscape and industrial funk. As photographer I have been shooting landscape along the West Coast for many years, as well as obsessively documenting urban walls with their transgressive scribbles and weathered patina. This series of images revisits the archetypes of the rural landscape with an urban twist. The prints are built from dozens of layers of site photographs and original paintings, mixed and blended in the digital kitchen to create a dreamy reality of the edge zone. This print is meticulously proofed and printed on Hahnemühle German Etching, using archival pigment inks rated to last for 100 years or more. The prints come with a certificate of authenticity verifying the edition number and the edition size. Prints are traditionally numbered and signed in light pencil with the number on the left and the signature on the right, just below the image. They are intended to be matted with an approximately 1/2 inch space all around to reveal the signature, but can be cropped to the edge of the image if desired. Prints are sold unframed.

Throughout my work I explore impermanence as it occurs in the urban landscape and in nature. My architectural prints and mixed media pieces focus on the radical reshaping of the built landscape through gentrification and de-industrialization. As we are confronted with change and our relationship to it, I am interested in the question of how much of the past we value and hold onto, and how much we let go to make the future our “now.” My work lives on the edge between nostalgia and accommodation, mediating through the elements of surface and iconic structure to a conversation about history, identity and sense of place. I have been a calligrapher and letter form artist for much of my professional art career, creating well known brandmarks for film, books and packaging. I have created custom typographic identities for Kitty Kelly, Clive Barker, Naomi Judd, and Anne Rice among others, and movie titling for Dreamworks and Walt Disney. As a fine artist I bring my passion for mark making and the architecture of letter forms into the abstract realm. I have a calligrapher's subtle sense of surface and texture, and incorporate calligraphic mark making into many of my pieces. I use photography, digital composition, printmaking, mixed media and collage, shifting as needed to suit my subject matter. I embrace new media and the infinite ways in which the analog and the digital can be shaken, stirred and poured into a new creative form.
