Arctic Farmer Astronomer

Arctic Farmer, 2006, acrylic and mixed media on panel, 48" x 44" / Astronomer, 2006, acrylic on canvas, 42" x 36"

Being alone in nature is to be what we truly are.
A part of the process and yet understanding our place there.
To shed artifice and confront the elemental, as stark as that may be, is a route to a greater understanding.
The individual defined in contrast and redefined in connection with the birch grove, winter field and night sky.
It is a coming to terms and making the most of what there is to work with.

Gathered from memory and photographs these paintings represent a personal reflection on moments of illumination.
