ARTIST STATEMENT

These works function similarly to location photos in film, or in this case "location paintings." The images suggest places of narrative happenings: in some cases points of departure, in others points of transition or edits.

The series began by tracing a journey both imagined and autobiographical through the Newfoundland landscape where I was living at the time. I then decided to also develop works drawn from an archive of material I had made in various media over the past ten years. They complete this imagined and autobiographical journey.
