Artist Statement |
My paintings are about being in this world at this time. For me this means living in the built environment most of the time, and that is the proximate subject depicted in most of my recent representational works. I make paintings of commercial and street signs, utility poles, buildings, vehicles, and other elements of our environment partly because these are so ubiquitous and familiar that we tend to take their presence for granted even as we use them in our day-to-day lives. Signs guide us to our destinations or indicate where we can obtain goods and services, while the core infrastructure represented by utility poles makes possible the online world on which we have come to depend. |
