""I experience an enormous sense of personal dislocation from the natural world living in a big city, but there is still a relationship to this environment we have created. Giving visual form to the tension between this sense of relationship and dislocation has preoccupied me since I started making art.

As a society, our concepts of beauty are conditioned by images of pristine natural wilderness. At the same time, in the quest for convenience and development, structures like freeways and power lines tear at our landscapes with indifference. The search for inspiration in a cluttered, mundane world sometimes leads our gaze upward. In my “Breathing Space” series, the void of the sky, framed by glimpses of natural and man-made artifacts, becomes the focus of an inchoate yearning, providing space for escape and a point of contact with the natural world"".
