My landscape paintings question classifications of what is considered natural or unnatural in our surroundings. My subjects are often discovered along bodies of water and other travel routes where forces of nature and human manipulation are accentuated.
Industrial engineering and organic forces commingle in these places, often one dominant over the other, speaking of humanity’s complex relationship with nature. These ongoing attempts to define, control or otherwise set aside these forces are both omnipresent and inextricably linked to us through our mutual efforts to encroach.
