This series is a narrative of a place losing the qualities that
distinguish it from a space. The establishment of a sense of
place is a psychological event that occurs when a person gains a
connection to a physical location and moment through experience.
This work explores the relationship between place and time in
this process. I make this work to understand what happens to our
understanding of a space as it changes.
The series Towers consists of shaped paintings in which I focus
on the structure and color of man-made objects protruding from
the landscape. Cut from dense fiberboard and then painted, the
shapes are graphic and minimal. The colors are specific to the
objects they describe. I use titles and accompanying text to orient
the viewer.
