Artist’s Statement
"The values we possess, individually and collectively, always show up in our lives and for the most part, the landscapes we create whether ordinary or designed. These values are summarily embedded in our subconscious. Using art as an intermediary, a series of pen and ink drawings and 3D clay models were created which I’ve entitled ‘Subconscious Landscapes.’ I believe and would like to show through these drawings and models that they are a commentary on the state of what we value in landscape. The work makes no reference to any part of nature or cultural elements. They are generics, works of art based on what I perceive landscape is and might be. "
