Thinking today about time, place, image and reality. With all that we know now about place, time and our perceptions of that, how would I create a landscape that could be true to that? I mean, if I were to try not to create a monocular view of the world, a modernist singular view, then what would that look like? I think it must be multi layered; at least with multiple quantities considered. Take, for instance the traditional norms of the western landscape. Broad , majestic vistas, beautiful light, important objects (buildings, flowers, trees, fields... etc.) are captured in a way that has become over time canonistic. This cannon is a singular view locked into a representation from a singular translator, moved by emotion, light, and lore of place. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, except I think that there is so much more about that place that is depicted, on so many micro and macro levels. I should make an attempt to acknowledge those bits of information.
On my journey, I encounter micro and macro realities, the strange anomalies of sub-atomic particles, realism, idealism, mapping, theories of existence, emotion/perception, hidden realities, multi-dimensional reality, pluralism, fractals, and I react to these things in my current work to create a landscape that is a reaction and dialog with these realities of contemporary existence.
