Artist Statement
My focus has long been the landscape. My use of the term 'landscape' is based in the writings of John Brinkerhoff Jackson. His use of the term went back to the source word, the German landschaften, which referred to that which results when 'man' reconfigures and uses the land, in essence creating his own landscape on the natural landscape. However, I also am looking at the abstract qualities in that landscape. The Rockface series is the most purely abstract, but it too is about a reconfigured landscape: all of the images are of rock faces revealed through blasting, for road cuts or in quarrying.
