****************************
My work explores the
relationships between
landscape, architecture,
agriculture the displacement
of indigenous species. In my
encaustic works, references to
each of these subjects are
integrated into the surface of
the paintings as dimensional
collage elements.
Branches, reeds, grasses,
seeds and other plant
materials, as well as
processed food items, are
embedded into a wax medium to
showcase their fragile nature
in various stages of plant
life, from embryos to
post-harvest products
processed for mass
consumption. Copper, metal
wire and mesh underlying and
surrounding the paintings
suggest a mechanical /
industrial presence
infiltrating and isolating the
natural landscape.
This series of mixed media
works comments on our
consumption of natural
resources, utilizing produce
and patterns of planting to
reference agricultural
development of the landscape,
and alludes to a variety of
interactions between man-made
structures and the natural
environment: inspiration and
imitation, digestion and
destruction, cultivation and
captivity....
