Crenon series
Paysage, 2011. Synthetic polymer paint, glass, mica, pumice on gallery wrapped prepared canvas. Dimensions 8"x10"x2".
This series, Crenon, is an attempt to look at our perception of the natural world in general terms. As humans, we have an enduring love-hate relationship with nature, simultaneously revering it as a place to go and "recharge our batteries" and escape the daily grind, as well as a source of materials to be exploited.

I wanted to create paintings that were meditative and contemplative, that would cause the viewer to pause for a minute or two and be engulfed into the artwork.
