project description:
The central concern of the work I have produced over the last five years is a preoccupation with visual perception and so-called "objective" systems of measurement. My work is about the inability of empirical systems to provide descriptions of reality which go beyond the rational. I have pursued a process of investigation that focuses on visual descriptions of landscape as the subject; due to their accessibility as a common experiential space, and because of their complex and culturally dependant definitions.
