Having been born with vision in only one eye, I have always seen the world through a monocular lens. This more narrow window has made me hyper aware of fine details and imperfections. Oftentimes, it’s the uniqueness of the imperfections that interests me the most as I have a deep understanding of how my own visual “imperfection” has led me to see the world in unique ways. It has given me a deep appreciation for experiencing our world not only visually but also tacitly. As a result, I create artworks that are densely layered and richly textured.
These works are from my Cracked Earth series of textural mixed media paintings with found rope and bits of other discarded materials. My painting's cracked and fissured surfaces represent the damage being done to our planet. The contrast of smooth and cracked surfaces reminds me of natural formations on the earth's surface that are like intricate works of art. My work is meant to be a reminder of nature’s beauty, even in the face of destruction.
Ultimately, these mixed media paintings aim to convey a romantic nostalgia for the natural world as it transforms and interacts with an urban world. It’s an otherness that lies somewhere between the past and future. Nature’s wonder and beauty is enchanting even as it breaks down and adapts.
