I am currently interested in making works about the sublime and a particular consideration of fear, control, and comfort within the landscape. Lately these ideas are manifested in images of empty pools, waterfalls and mountains, and isolated places, with an ambiguity in mark and visual spacial relations. Scale is considered: with small works there is an intimacy and paradox of the grand contained in the miniature; in the large drawings there is more room for multiple vistas. In the vein of Caspar David Friedrich and Peter Doig I am looking to pursue a contemporary view of landscape and the sublime among the turmoil of the current culture.
