ARTIST’S STATEMENT
In this recent body of work I
have chosen to explore the
natural environment that seems
to dwell in our periphery. I
have also begun to experiment
using different materials
while looking at the rural
areas that abound in North
America.
The Hay Bale Series
In this series of paintings I
used bold and vibrant colours
on routered and gouged plywood
with attached fence posts and
cattle wire. I am attempting
to bring attention to the
bales because of their
seemingly awkward placement in
the flat fields off of our
county roads. We tend to
drive through, around, or by
the beauty that lays out of
our car window every day with
very little time for thought.
The hay bale seems strange
because it comes directly from
the environment but has been
manipulated to appear near
alien to it. Patterson Ewen’s
gouged paintings of subjects
such as the moon or the sun
had a great influence on this
series of paintings.
