Natural Philosophy
This year I have transitioned to a format in which I start compositions with a grid. Instead of starting from a collection or taxonomy of things, I am using a central metaphor to organize the imagery. An overall trope allows me to employ elements central to the content of my work: juxtaposition of landscape and still life; drawing from the history of art; drawing from the conceptual history of taxonomy and collection; playing with a pre-scientific taxonomy of resemblance; exploring the overlap between natural form, fine art, and decorative arts. The grid gives me the freedom to use a less literal space, one that can become more abstract and which fits into my continuing attraction to shallow spaces.
