CURRENT PROJECT

in-progress work developing in the studio

Each of these new paintings uses a reclaimed window as its support with a combination of ink, oil paint, fabric, and mylar. The works explore the changing edges of the Hudson Valley as waters rise and storms intensify. Great Piece of Turf, named after Albrecht Dürer’s painting, depicts plants used in local wetland restoration. Oyster Reef portrays concrete structures designed to support oyster populations while serving as natural flood barriers.

The project builds on my recent series of outdoor paintings exhibited with Mother-in-Law’s Gallery with Field Projects. These freestanding paintings on reclaimed doors drew on archival documentation of 19th-century towns submerged to create New York City’s watershed.
