My current body of work explores ambiguity within the familiar as a way to synthesize complex experiences of the everyday, specifically in response to observed residential landscapes.
I want these paintings to feel both new and lived-in, unanticipated and familiar; a place of hopeful ambiguity that seeks to both engage with and to escape from conventional, idealized representations of home and landscape. In dialogue with the history of landscape painting in the Northeast, as well as with current iconic images of Vermont, this body of work seeks to trouble binaries between natural and unnatural, urban and rural, and to bring forth a tension related to commonly held notions about what is scenic. Ultimately, the work invites viewers to question: what is worth seeing beauty in? What is worth valuing?
