Artist's Statement
Ten years ago my
approach to painting, sculpture, and assemblage came together in digital
photography. Before arriving at a final print I construct rural scenes
making iconic architecture out of clay and wood, then paint or draw their
backdrops. These naturally lit studio constructions evoke moods of
romanticized isolation. I am interested in creating human dialogues using
structures rather than people and steering naturalism towards
abstraction.
A childhood in New England and recent years around
the farmlands of Long Island play a role in the development of the rural
images. Early art training at BMFA, undergraduate work at Massachusetts
College of Art, and graduate work at NYU helped form my minimalist and
conceptual aesthetic. Now living in Sag Harbor, NY, I continue to work the
concepts of “home” and memory of place.
We currently have many
of these works framed in store. Please call or email for up to the minute
stock.
