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 my own underlying order amid nature’s chaos. Using drawing and mark making with charcoal and graphite and painting with layered oils, I generate an imagined reality. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. Again. And again. A ghost remains. I work toward a bilateral glimpse of interconnectedness between what we can see and what we imagine we can see–a superficial and subterranean geography. The resulting blend of drawing and painting awakens the unknown and casts the familiar in new light.
