oil, charcoal, graphite on paper
26 x 21″
For three years I have lived and worked in Dutchess County/Upstate New York. Here I cannot escape–the landscape. The natural environment of the Hudson Valley are triggers: rivers, ponds, mountains, trails, farmland, forests. I look for underlying geometry and order amid nature’s chaos. Using drawing and mark making with charcoal and graphite and painting with layered oils, I generate an imagined reality from a perceived experience. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. A ghost remains. I work toward a bilateral glimpse of interconnections between what we can see and what we imagine we can see–a superficial and a subterranean geography. This blend casts the familiar in a new light.
