I interpret settings and emphasize visual details from my encounters with nature to communicate the complexity of natural systems beyond their cursory picturesque value. This Series invokes similarities to the “Mystic painters” movement. It shares the same appreciation of movement and heightened perception. Each landscape simultaneously appears flattened and yet has a strong degree of aerial perspective… due to my altered sense of time and space from repeated recollections. Plus, the images are formed from both ecological influences and artistic intuition.
