Faces of Planet Earth 

          This group of paintings is inspired by our planet earth--aerial views and views of the air.  Traditionally, landscape painters record the view across the surface of the earth with the inevitable horizon line dividing the canvas into two basic areas.  It is like painting a figurative portrait in profile: the canvas is divided into two fundamental compositional areas, one side of the face and whatever lies behind it. 

 

I am experimenting with an unconventional view.  I am painting her full face rather than her profile.  Looking down at the earth or up at the sky there is no visible horizon: the earth’s features alone serve as the fundamental compositional elements.  There is no horizon, no predetermined division of my working surface.  The result is more abstract, less predictable. 

 

This series, Faces of Planet Earth, focuses on the workings of the elements wind, water and fire on the face and the atmosphere of our earth, as well as the marks left by technology such as agriculture and mining.  The Dunes series remark on sunlight and shadow moving over windswept sands.  The Water Wheels series comment on agriculture’s circular irrigation in the Great Plains of the United States.  From the air you can see well-defined active circles and disappearing, abandoned, partial, and less round circles overlapping each other, forming fascinating accidental patterns. 

 

Like the moon and the other planets in our solar system, the earth is a reflective body, absorbing and reflecting the sun’s light to varying degrees—darker areas, like forests, being more absorbent and brighter areas, like glaciers, being more reflective.  I have used a metallic background and applied many thin layers of paint as a structural reminder of our earth’s luminescence.

Photography

This is a group of photographs taken at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park.  My objective in shoot ing them was to create a collection of images that I could use as a springboard for a series of abstract oil paintings on aluminum foil, glass beads and shards.  For my original purpose I needed to rework them in photoshop.  Some of the images are  so powerful as photographs that I want to share them as such.
