Work 2019–

The environment has been subjected to escalating destruction, with representations of landscape often used as arenas for political and social issues. Before 2016, my large-scale, landscape-inspired imagery was of fragmentation and dissolution. There was no unifying perspective or steadying horizon upon which to focus, reflecting uncertain engagement with the phenomenal world.

Recently, I have inserted references to current politics into my work. These images, incorporating collaged newspaper fragments, point to the harmful impact of partisan “spin” on social and physical worlds. I view the abstracted field as a gathering place in which to engage social discourse and to create bridges between the realism of language and the abstraction of environmental space.
