Environmental Series
My work is unique in that it incorporates photography, paint, stitching and textiles in such a way that challenges the viewer to decipher that these are more than paintings. I integrate techniques
to reflect on the past in an attempt to make sense of the future by utilizing the incongruity of
hand stitching (traditional mark making) with the latest technology on silk and other textiles
(modern mark making). This series combines these media to portray natural surfaces
using imagery of the planet's fragile beauty.
In my travels I photograph fragments of lichen, rocks, dead vines and trees, and I never know
when I'll find an interesting image or texture that I'll save for later use. This work is about
raising awareness about the fragility of our environment. The exhibit depicts a balance of art and nature; portraits of our vanishing landscape.
