Building upon the history of observational landscape painting, I consider its relevance in an age of time based media, mass imagery and instant information. Embracing human limitations, my work explores the complexities of first-hand experiences and the definition of familiarity. Through sequential and perceptual landscape painting, my practice creates an archive of sustained engagement with perpetually fluctuating environments.
In an outdoor setting there is so much information and many variables that are beyond my control. What does it mean to engage with how these observations add to my understanding and attune my senses to the nuances of the scene? Standing in the same spot, I paint the same space again and again over hours, weeks, months and even years. Returning to each site multiple times builds an intimacy from which I can personally and intuitively respond to fluctuating conditions.
Finding a format best suited for each site, I embrace that I am not a machine and I do not register changes the same way that a machine would. I paint what first captures my attention, therefore, directing the viewer to my individual impression. Whenever there is a noticeable change in its appearance, I put the work aside and begin a new panel. I cannot and do not want to capture every detail. I am interested in the shape shifts within my subject, as well as the freshness, decisiveness and immediacy of my response. The result of this process corresponds with the pace at which changes occur. Endurance leads to a rhythmic quality in the physical act of painting. It becomes a flow that is indicative of my immersion.
Over time possibilities open up to me as an artist. The nameable objects disappear and are replaced by shifts of colors and abstract shapes vying for my attention before nestling back into obscurity. Sustained engagement through painting allows me to be open and ready to respond to the unexpected in seemingly mundane or cliché subjects. The arrangement and balance of little and big shapes constantly changes, providing new paintings from the same landscape motif.
As I work, I do not compare the current painting to the previous one. I am fully absorbed in the present. I have faith that the process will result in a genuine record of my experience however subtle or dramatic the visual shifts.
Painting the same size within a series guarantees that there is minimal disruption to the narrative flow and read when I present these landscapes in their entirety as a story of my encounters with a particular place. Series are installed chronologically as a singular piece - often in grid-like formats contrasting the irregularity of nature.
