Artist
Statement:
My
work is a study in humanistic movement: travel and tourism, suburban
sprawl, and psychological decision making found within the context of
Nature. My relationship to this subject developed from an urban
upbringing; one encouraged by the romanticism of a Western value
system.
I
have conflicted feelings about the wilderness and the outdoors. My
eagerness to become part of its beauty and awe is dampened by guilt
and disappointment because I have chosen to enter a world of
privilege. The phenomena of cultural media—outdoor magazines,
catalogs, and other consumer-based products—has created an
ever-widening gap between opposing forces. Here, construction hinders
growth, accumulation betrays worth, and success replaces integrity.
This is the continuous plight that drives me.
Drawing is a process that mimics my physical
exploration of nature. As I take methodical, sometimes arduous steps
in creating marks on paper, I allow myself to find the joy I would
find on an outdoor hike. Brush and ink serve as walking legs in an
interminable landscape. Slowly, with almost guaranteed frustration and
inevitable weariness, I move forward to find happiness. |
