I invoke the tradition of painting to frame an understanding of land that is both cinematic and transfixed. Like a painting, a chance encounter with the sublime exists in a still and weighty stasis, but also, in its brevity, is marked by the fugitive passing of time. By introducing romance to the ordinary, I intend to reshape my memories of the common American tableau into something radiant, numinous, and unknown.

I do all this in a studio in my yard. These pictures are from that place, between beginning and ending.
