Our society possesses an underlying utopian drive. It is a drive that is at odds with its outcome, and there exists a strong tension between permanence and progress, natural and constructed. I use this relationship between the natural and built environment as a way of examining cultural value systems, the quest for the ideal, and my own conflicted relationship with those ideals. My images are both satirical and earnest, a standoffish sarcasm colluding with a hopeful beauty. I create the compositions digitally, cutting and pasting together photographs I’ve taken. I then turn them into drawings which I silkscreen print. I print the colors one by one, so each color is its own separate drawing.
