Your Ruins

Both ephemeral and material, the Your Ruins series toes a line between the mythical and the real. Abstracted landscapes and symbols lie somewhere between creative freedom and considered forms. Made from discarded detritus, The Anatomist finds creation in the destruction, loss or abandonment of the materials found and used. Haunting in their bleakness, each possesses a unique character, the curved darkened silhouettes applied with recklessness in Is This Familiar vs the cut and golden formed preciseness of Icon. All are textural, layered and contoured, whether through the use of many thin scraped layers of paint, fillers and textured painter, or through the assemblage of rough objects.
