A Layered Space Inventory
Page in progress...
Prices do not include shipping, final price TBD.
Starting in 2007, my work in photography led to the development of a photo transfer technique I refer to as the Canvas Peel in which the image’s pigment is suspended in varnish. With the texture of pliable plastic, the artworks are paper-thin, sometimes, two-sided images of three-dimensional objects. Those objects come together in large scale installations in which viewers meander through, experiencing a surreal world where objects that should have volume are reduced to floating images, it becomes quite playful.
The next iteration will further develop plants and trees into more spectacular objects. The most recent ones I am creating utilize real branches along with Canvas Peel leaves and flowers from different species and elements that have nothing to do with plants at all: scraps from the Closet Series are transforming into leaves: blue puffy coat/plaid/denim patterned leaves, etc. As horticulturist and producer of this bizarre and surreal space, I want to almost overwhelm the viewer with a landscape totally twisted up, like elements our minds develop while we sleep with blended memories and objects. This iteration will include video and sound for the first time; shadow of dog tail wagging, sound of the waterfall, birds chirping, helicopter overhead, etc.
I have been thinking a lot about truth lately....can we trust our own eyes...our own ears...our own memories?
