Through sequential and perceptual landscape painting, my work creates a record of my experience with perpetually fluctuating environments. Outdoors, many variables are beyond my control. How do these add to my understanding of the nuances of a scene? I paint the same space again and again building an intimacy from which I can respond to fluctuating conditions. With each noticeable change in appearance, I put the work aside to begin a new panel. I am interested in the shape shifts within my subject, as well as the freshness, decisiveness and immediacy of my response. The resulting image corresponds with the pace at which changes occur. Nameable objects disappear and are replaced by shifts of colors and abstract shapes vying for attention before nestling back into obscurity. Sustained engagement allows me to respond to the unexpected. Series are installed chronologically as a singular piece.
