new paintings (vestiges series)
The Vestiges Paintings envision a world in which icebergs and glaciers no longer exist. These “paintings from the future” may be seen as mythologizing the natural world as it once existed. I often think of my work as cave paintings, recording a world now lost, coupled with images of the world humans have created. The layering and repetition of symbols: tree stumps and icebergs (nature under threat), horns (protection), eyes (the observer/watcher) and circles (biology and the microscopic world) all serve to create an alternative visual language. This visual language is all part of the reordering of the world as a means of grasping the uncertainty that lies ahead.
