"The landscape is a battle ground vying for our attention. Why can't we leave well enough alone?"

"Many of my projects over the years have explored various aspects of construction sites. This current project reinvisions construction sites as lunar landscapes. By altering the familiar to be more alien I hope to give an emotional context to these changes going on in the landscape around us."

I approach landscape as observation, ritual and metaphor. Drawn to the margins and the mundane, I find poetic engagement in common everyday occurrence. I began to notice the snow heap in the parking lot outside of my studio window as this past winter's recession grew in magnitude. Returning to observe and paint it regularly, the focused practice helped me to cope with the stunning details of so many jobs and fortunes lost. The accumulation and variable nature of the pile described in a restricted palette on recycled paper bags became its own meta phor for this time."

"Our proposal is for an installation that tinkers with and reveals actual landscape processes. And while our comfort zone is outside the walls of architecture our definition of landscape, "as a process of ongoing relationships existing in a physical region" (Robert Smithson), encompasses the gallery. We hope through this project to expand the gallery's reach and embrace the curatorial call to examine "the changing landscape."

"This body of recent work addresses contemporary experience of connection, location, and the systems that define these within a technology driven culture. My use of satellite imagery enables a distancing from the literal experience of landscape and opens a dialogue between viewer and subject. The figurative 'space' between these images and ourselves corresponds to our contemporary systems of connection and the spaces inherent in them."

"In the modern landscape, the cell tower is as much a part of the landscape as a church steeple or horse barn"

"From an urban perspective, man's influence and dominance over the landscape reigns. However form a rural perspective, t he effect and influence of human endeavor is a far less certain reality. Whatever strength that man may seem to exert in a city of skyscrapers and billion dollar tunnels, t hat strength is marginalized outside the of the urban/suburban domain."

"Ecotone(Complex Biodiversity at the Borderlands)" is a sound work that uses field recordings from urban wilds and green spaces to urge listeners to consider the richness of these areas. A new ambient soundscape is constructed from both human produced mechanical noise and the voices of animals, in order to rearrange the hierarchy of listening...."

"Waste grows. Expands and respires, sustained by humanity's expelled materials. Abandoned, the objects left behind find their own order. New spaces are created that surpass familiar landscapes. These landscapes originate with every individual and home, collecting and compacting spaces together. Scouring for more, waste landscapes pass through streets inconspicuously."

"In my Partial Landscape" series, I've concentrated on landscapes that reveal traces of the human hand. I'm curious about how we claim and design natural spaces, and how we use fragile symbols, like posts in the ground, to define our presence and our boundaries. In my work, I want to portray this bond between land and the human presence as something uncertain, sublime and disconcerting."
