ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Image size on paper 24x24 with a 2" border all around. On canvas, 24x24" with no border (inquire.) This piece is part of a larger series called The Tarmac Residency, which was inspired by recent travels. On this journey I spent a lot of time looking out at the landscapes of tarmac in the airports and the mesmerizing abstract crop patterns below the clouds from the air above Texas and Tennessee. This led to thinking about the revival of the idea that the earth is flat. We live in a post-modern time when pretty much every idea that used to be a true thing taken for granted is up for grabs: is the earth actually round or.....? Using cellphone photographs I have abstracted and extrapolated, and this is the result. This image is not a reproduction of a painting, but a contemporary print created from new media: digital photography, and imaging software output to fine rag paper, canvas or other strata like aluminum or plexiglass. Size ranges from 11x11 to 24x24 in limited editions. (Inquire)

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.
