My recent paintings continue my interest in the problematized psychological relationship between humans and the natural world. I am utilizing the genre of landscape painting to suggest mystical, invisible worlds that parallel our own, often depicting colonization and escape from a desertified electrical planet. The color fields exhale atmospheric spaciality that are filled with imagery of oversized silhouettes of microscopic life and of plastic garbage in contrast with miniature silhouettes of humans. A recurring image in this series is developed from a diagram of the internet.

In Adipose Industries I have created a multimedia company whose main focus is the theoretical securing and repurposing of fat for home and personal use. I base my science on anecdotal evidence and on my innate inability to understand science or math. Recycling materials from manmade and natural sources, I assemble and manipulate objects that evolve, develop, and grow, often of their own accord. There are no formulas, no recipes, and no directions for rewiring, disassembling, and reconstruction. The only guidance is that there are no instructions for interpretation or use.

Impossible Objects is a series of oil paintings constructed to faithfully represent installations in my studio. The installations are composed of plaster, wood, mirrors, other optical instruments, and projected landscape imagery. I am interested in the feeling of infinity, which comes from images of idealized landscapes, contrasted with the shallow depth of the actual space represented.
