FOSSIL ICONS: A RESPONSE TO THE LANDSCAPE
Experiencing a convoluted landscape that has been scarred by the effects of anthracite coal mining, I identify with an unfloding and exposing process. As in many regions where man has pulled rock and minerals up from deep within the earth, I witness the inners being drawn out and piled high on the exterior. What has been on the inside of the planet is now on the outside. In this process of mining for minerals, the earth's sinew and skeleton become exposed. Likewise, the ingesting of toxic mining dusts and mineral by-products has played havoc with the human body. Both man and the earth are being bored into.
Does this knowing - this seeing of the inside and the outside - strengthen our discourse with the planet? Aside from more formal ecological and environmental concerns, I;m suggesting that our intimacy with the planet has been heightened, as in any relationship, by visually and personally experiencing its internal processes, effects and mechanics.
These paintings recall bits of earth - actual chunks of the landscape. The minerals from these Black Deserts have been incorporated into the paintings producing textures and imagery that begin to question some aspects of our relationship with the landscape - our intimacy with our environment.
