“...we live in the center of a physical poetry, a geography that would be intolerable except for the non-geography that exists there - few people realize that they are looking at the world of their own thoughts and the world of their own feelings”
Below is a link to the continuation of my series in these small landscapes on canvas.
These smaller works on canvas carry over the same concept and approach as the larger landscapes on paper, however these collages portray a more intimate minimal setting. There is an eerie dissonance that is conveyed in these scaled landscapes. Where is the location? What time of day or year is it? Who are these people in this environment? Time is in flux and linear continuance is abandoned. The idea of lost and found is reinforced by the push and pull of the imagery within the space. The direct image transfer technique leaves the (almost ghostly) distressed under-drawing visible within the layers of the ink wash and collage, allowing the drawings to expose an embedded ominous history of their own.
