My primarily monochromatic mark-making practice investigates the intersection of ecology and activism, approached within the pictorial traditions of romantic landscapes and landscape painting. My contemporary vanitases weave a narrative of vastness and intimacy, creation and destruction, power and helplessness, with a particular interest in the destructive power of climate change, which implicates anthropocentric economic, cultural, and political constructs and our humancentric relationship to nature and the imaginative and cultural failures at the foundation of this super-wicked global climate crisis.
This work was created using only materials found in my studio, including three works of art, one was cropped, one cut up to create the stop deforestation symbol and the other used to mount the work over.
