Tracing the marks
Posted by tom | Oct 4, 2006they leave, I do not render people directly, rather, I investigate the evidence of their presence. Nature is something alive and ever changing, is infinite in space and in time, exists everywhere, and is often engulfing and inescapable. By indirectly placing humans in nature, I attempt to isolate and allegorize the void between them.
My personal interaction with nature is through the role of a traveler. I prefer the temporal, flowing, and portable, and embrace the grandeur, fantasy and mystery of an arrival at a new destination.
So begins the artist statement of a CMU alum whose pieces I [Tom] have particularly found provoking. Take some time to enjoy Sarah's Chautauqua Dialogues.
