Description
I grew up playing in the wooded areas of Northern Virginia near a stream called Difficult Run. My formative years were spent building tree forts and rubber tire rafts alongside this stream bed. Today I still live close by the stream where I find and collect the natural forms for my work called �Earth Objects�. �Earth Objects� are small pods, acorns, and leaves etc� that I collect during walks on the W & O foot trail. I refer to myself as an �Image Archaeologist�.
im-age ar�chae-ol�o-gy�, [im-ij] [ahr-kee-ol-uh-jee], n. 1. The systematic recovery by artistic methods of imagery within the ground of a painting. 2. A dig into the surface ground with the butt of a paintbrush to imprint an image. 3. The space between the figure and the ground from which emerges a skeletal impression of an image. 4. A constant searching for the middle ground through the application of paint and projected thought that culminates into a work of art.
My personal iconography is based on the discovery of objects in nature in their native environment.
