Abstract
Influenced by Greek mythology, the natural world, and 19th century ideas of the sublime, this body of work explores and describes liminal spaces that are part of the human experience. Loosely inspired by the paintings of Odilon Redon, the work utilizes silhouetted figures and distorts the landscape to create dream-like scenes. The paintings are long and multi-paneled which allude to narrative. The use of oil paint on wood is significant because of the diversity of textures and solvents that make it possible to create complex, layered visual effects.
