The ‘ASHLAND’ Series
These are photographs with encaustic wax paired with carved and torched wood. Aerial views of desert terrain, abstract, geometric, and monotone. Randomly cultivated landscape – marks on the planet surface. Followed by destruction, poison, and depletion – charring the jeweled veneer.
The ‘FOREST LANDSCAPE’ Series
These are carved wooden panels, torched, with encaustic wax inlay. Twilight in the woods. Sky and sunlight vanishing, horizontal rays through the dense woodland. Day creatures settle, as the nocturnal emerge. Silhouettes diminish on the horizon as daylight fades, gracefully welcoming the luminescent moon through drifting clouds.
The ‘NEST’ Series
NEST Symbolic home to all- birth, growth, health, comfort, and family stability to both animals and humans. Gordian knot, a maze of life's journey, crown of thorns in the Tree of Life. Here, empty and charred, representing what global warming and extreme climate change can cause... people and wildlife displaced.ASHLAND CONTACT SHEET (EIGHT DIPTYCHS)
