Projection : Reflection is about other possibilities I see within the urban landscape, both in the present and through the lens of a future in which our civilization is in the past. I isolate and augment common, repetitive elements of the city, such as curbed islands, strip-mall columns, parking-lot bollards, and pavement surface itself. Through these studies, I am in part trying to decode or recode them to find or to ascribe a deeper meaning within them. 

Nature is the other half of our urban environment, and I love how it can juxtapose with the built fabric of the city. Today’s infrastructural and commercial architecture vernaculars share a dilutedness; a superficial or sometimes nonexistent swipe at style or expression that generally feels thin. The thinness of this “false front” is constantly made apparent by how quickly nature disrupts its visual and structural integrity and begins to subsume it.

The works here include a central installation (2nd “Folly”, Curbed Island Variety), and several prints including relief prints (lino and wood block), as well as silkscreened monoprints, all exploring the same sampled forms mentioned above.
