Photography and acrylic on sculpted canvas.
61x42x5"
This painting is my next step toward a minimalistic approach to my work. I'm looking at my photo and cutting it down to the main subject, the lone tree. As support, I wanted just pure clean, and flat color. To achieve this I had to airbrush my background. Due to the size and airbrushing, I had to work outside in my backyard. This ended up being challenging. Usually, I'm not worried about things falling into the paint as I work outside a lot, but this time I needed a clean environment. I was amazed at the amount of my dog hare that was in the air and at one point my dog managed to walk across the canvas as it was drying on the ground. Thankfully I was able to take out the prints and with 20 more coats, there is no trace of my dog's handy work—just mine.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Postmodern art has a fixation on absolute contrasts; photography and painting, abstract and representation, and conceptual and practical. My study is a dismantling of these conventional categories through the integration of elements found within sculpture, painting, and photography.
The sculpted canvases are handmade and unique to each artwork. The structural forms fragment the frame and instill movement, disrupting the conventional geometric configuration of wall-mounted artwork.
Each piece is a deconstruction of the surrounding environment, as the structural form of the canvas abstracts the natural lines within. My investigation into the tradition of Canadian art, the unadulterated beauty of the physical world, and resonating passing memory, results in an attempt to communicate the grandeur and fragility of nature.
