Dwelling in the twilight zone between painting and sculpture, these installation works function as sites for potential event or performances. Both the eye and the body at large are taken over in perceptual ways, prescribing movement through space. This includes the process of making, which thanks to the scale, becomes performative. They must be wrestled with, crawled over and stood on while being made, which posits me literally in the painting as a figure in my own landscape. Oscillating between celebratory yet also oppressive, the works presents tension between the joyful liberation of conjuring a new, not-nature and the estranged sense of an unreality that has been manufactured. I am endlessly interested in the idea of a place as a thing and a thing as a place.
