2020
These works were instigated by spending this heightened time reconsidering ongoing (postponed) projects as well as working with what’s always waiting to be to discovered in the studio. The images with tape are cropped versions of my constructed-to-scale tests for larger prints that will be produced elsewhere, and belong to a group I’m calling Work from Work.
Among the other studio works are those inspired by what’s become a yearly, seasonal event around the summer solstice. While I'm far from the ground in my lived-in studio space, the sun’s movement north allows its evening setting in the western sky to track across my eastern walls. I’ve been recording this recurrent appearance as a welcomed guest – this unlikely but insistent connection to the natural world – for several years, placing different images in its path to see what I could see. This year I included, on occasion, my real fake hedge.
