Southern Landscape
Southern Landscape I, mylar, acrylic, thread, china marker, paint and graphite 6ft H x 5ft W x 3in D, Inspired by drives on southern back roads, seeing the forgotten past like rusted abandoned cars taken over by nature. " Cars Totem-they were stacked up like a totem pole on the side of the road-all rusted, vermillion, busted windows, one on top of the other, a giant lawn ornament, made from metal dreams of the past-now junk-slowly returning, to its maker-slowly being reclaimed-by the uncultivated vines, palmettos, and oak trees."
Southern Landscape II, mylar, acrylic, thread, china marker, acrylic, graphite 6ft H x 5ft W x 3in D " The mangroves connected like wishbones-Bones shared by both chicken and dinosaur-the clouds were cotton candy popcorn-holding on to the last moments of sun before it went back-to China."
Southern Seascape (The Wave), mylar, acrylic, thread, marker 9ft H x 12ft W x 3in D 2010,
Inspired by Japanese woodblock print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by artist Katsushika Hokusai and the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Inside Out /Road kill, vinyl, acrylic, nylon, yarn, 8ft H x 4 ft W x 3in D, 2010, Interests in beauty and the grotesque; the relationship between human and her environment and a past relationship with animals vs. contemporary one. Entrails used tell fortunes takes time and a closeness with death vs speeding down the highway.
