Double Take
Double Take is a project I took on with a fellow artist, Caitlin Servilio. The purpose was to experience the challenges of working side by side with a fellow artist while maintaining our own selves in our paintings and still achieving dialogue between the pieces. We worked mostly en plein air, but during the colder months we shared photos.
Painting landscapes allows me to express, define, and voice how the everyday surroundings influence me. With the past summer having so many moments of natural and political instability the question of balance and reality were on my mind. I felt the need to encompass that feeling and work it into my paintings.
In the piece, A Bridge Linking Balance & Man, I produced my own disorder by applying multiple levels of landscapes as opposed to a single landscape. Blending vistas with line and texture was a means of conveying this turmoil. The challenge became finding a way to create a grounded wholeness amidst the overall theme of chaos. Weaving the background in and out of the foreground brought about the oneness I was looking for.
