"So somebody asks... "What do you do?"
I'm at a point of the more I do it, the less I really know, the landscape is a vehicle for language, not STYLE, but a developed deep seated personal language, that takes many years to reach. My work is not necessarily site specific, but more a conglomerate of parts that would become a regional identifier, subtle. Something between the Western European model and the Western Desert Mob.....of multiple viewpoints, horizon lines, map making, flying between, searching for visual dynamism, of seemingly obscure titles, not of how things look as much as how they feel, a juggling alchemist, where it's essentially all about paint."
