I am an artist who works primarily in print media. I am originally from upstate NY, where the landscape is littered with industrial site consuming the environment. Some of these locations were hard to get close enough to photograph. This resulted in long distance shots where the landscape begun consuming the industrial sites instead of these sites consuming the environment. These sites became almost lost monuments or ruins. Many derelict buildings stand from past industries where literally being consumed by the environment.
My work wants to make the transition to large scale works. I would make multiple layered prints with landscape, geometry, and symbols. Some layers would be clear and recognizable, while others would be the result of some kind of degradation that could be left to chance.
I love the feeling of etching and the process of lithography, but screen allowed me to work in a larger scale. Scanning in these prints and enlarging them add an even more monumentality quality.
