Momentary I

My recent pastel drawings are based upon continual atmospheric shifts in the higher elevations of AK and how these shifts create an elusively of the powerful landscape. The landscape is visible for a moment, then suddenly hidden. It never appears the same way, which allows for visual interpretation through my drawings. Atmosphere is continually enveloping all that it surrounds, softly muting surfaces it plays upon for one moment, then revealing detailed glimpses of color and form, in the next. Atmosphere upon landscape serves as a powerful metaphor for experiences and resulting challenges that enrich, teach, motivate and sometimes sadden.
