In the series “Studies”, I want to question how we view landscapes by blurring the lines between reality and abstraction. The absence of scale and obvious subject matter in the works is deliberate, allowing space for further interpretation. Free from points of reference, the viewer is left focusing on the composition and texture of the work, unbiased in his observation. The deconstruction of natural images by exposing the subtlest details of our planet’s living surface, allows a new level of consciousness to reveal a landscape within a landscape. Abstraction from time and place depicts images of untouched and solitary beauty, providing a commentary on the tension within our continually threatened natural environment and the endurance of earth’s primitive landscapes.
