I am intrigued by landscapes where natural and human made surfaces converge, depict history and contain numerous phases of existence. I use grid motifs and aerial perspectives to evoke topography, the notion of journeys and migration and to create a connection between celestial views and the ground below. By removing a sense of gravity and heaviness, the illusion of viewing images from above provides a feeling of empowerment and freedom – freedom from; freedom to; and freedom to be. My intention is to provide visceral opportunities for the viewer and encourage an emotional narrative by creating a sense of weightlessness to feel freedom and elation through the use of form and space with references to the wonders and beauty of nature and the built environment.
