imagined landscapes		I explore the world around me by means of the world that is in me. -Goethe In this series I create invented landscapes. In drawings of little houses, fake trees, sets and models, I construct narratives and dramas. Partly observed and partly imagined, these landscapes involve a dialogue between the real and the false, and create a psychologically complex, idiosyncratic, interior landscape. I investigate themes of threat, insecurity, and instability. Scale changes and an acknowledgement of the fakery and artificiality of my subjects tend to unbalance and destabilize the viewer further. Simplified houses reference story-telling and fable, and symbolize self, home, and the fragility of human endeavor.
