The focus of my current artistic practice is the creation of series of fantastic images of the natural world and, as such, these series fall into the category of non-representational visual art. The individual images are influenced by my imperfect memory of a time and place as well as by imagery (of landscapes) seen in my pre-dream state -- referred to by scientists as “hypnagogia” -- and in my dreams. Each image is a joyful reminder of natural locations I’ve experienced. But each is also my attempt idealize the landscape, in the hope that the viewer will feel a little of what I felt. The images are intended to cause the viewer to take a moment to pause and construct their own stories and emotions. Every image is a time-consuming composite of multiple landscape photographs I have taken over years around the world. Their final form blurs the line between photography and painting. Web-based, generative artificial intelligence was not used.
