Hybrid Landscapes, resin and acrylic paint, ink, plaster pill replicas on wood panel, 30 x 40 cm, 2012

As we continue to increase our reliance on fuels, energies and contemporary technologies, we leave an ever-larger imprint on our world. Such tragedies as the oil spills of Exxon Valdez and the Fukushima nuclear reactor meltdown as well as everyday, ongoing emissions have expelled pollutants into our environment that have resulted in permanent changes, challenging our understanding of “Nature” as a romantic notion of the divine landscape to that of a landscape irrevocably shaped by human activity and industry. Looking at these pollutants as well as biological, cellular growths and mutations in a micro-macro manner, I consider these cells and chemical spills as elements of our contemporary natural world.
