Above and Below

In its conventional understanding, the idea of landscape is limited to a single viewpoint looking into an immersive space. This work opens the notion of landscape to include a very intimate understanding of the Earth as a celestial body. This incorporates levels of vision that occur above and below the earth's surface. Like satellites, for example, which may send imagery down from above and also scan structures buried underground, this collection of data formed from seeing in both directions creates a collage of spatial perspectives and new ways to embed time and space within the picture plane. In my work, these influences form a hybrid image of paper and land moving with us and changing before our eyes.
