Shimmy-Shake' is a contemporary landscape painting, composed to confront a variety of our shared environments and perspectives all together and at once. An assortment of spaces are brought together for the purpose of an immediate experience of place, and for comparison. We experience our environment sequentially, by immersion and over real time—temporally and causally. As we move through a collage of industrial, post-industrial, modern, and postmodern environments we must work to resolve our understanding of landscape, and nature, within this episodic experience of place. 'Shimmy-Shake' is an attempt to create a visual equivalent of this complex dynamic.
