Lunar Reflections

The Lunar Reflections are an ongoing series of monumental drawings on wood where I explore my fascination with the magical quality of moonlight, the way that it burnishes the certainties of daytime with a fleeting, poetic magnetism.

Gleaning their geological features from the barren, mountainous magnificence of recollected landscapes, they are mapped against a lunar surface of craters and reflected light.

Their atmospherics draw the viewer into with an environment of vast, unpopulated places, much as one might envision the topographies of some unknown planet. 

They explore and posit a foreign or possible other world; a speculative space that we can imagine yet never physically experience, since it hovers in the mind, somewhere between the real and the imagined. 

This process of iteration through memory and imagination touches on the ineffability of lived experience: reminding us at once of its instability and its genius for (re)invention.
