| My current work explores phenomena: the unusual, exceptional moments just on the edge of plausibility, and occasionally beyond. I am particularly interested in landscapes where there is some evidence of human intervention, but nature still dominates. I often sense a mysterious and compelling power in these places, a haunting beauty. I want to put form to that power, in hopes of getting a longer look at it, understanding it a little better, and sharing it with you. I draw from ideas of the sublime, but my engagement is quieter, my glimpses and apprehensions more subdued. What I’m after in my work eludes a direct approach. As it is with our vision in the dark, we can see objects better by looking slightly to the side of them. It’s a wonderful challenge, pursuing the peripheral. If it goes just right I might capture something essential to its nature, and as a result articulate a truth that is resonant and significant. |
