Médium

Oil on canvas

My paintings consider my relationship to the myth of wilderness: both my sense of reverence in relation to nature as well as my participation in its commodification and exploitation. In the “Monument” series, I explore how my life and the world’s life are deeply intertwined. When a haze or dusk descends upon me as I am walking in the forest, it descends upon my awareness as well. I honour the specificity of a particular subject, while uniting it with its surroundings within a narrow tonal and chromatic range, and the smooth uniformity of the painted surface.
