Incidents & Allegations
Landscapes based on scenes from New York's Central Park, in which hidden clues to implied incidents come in and out of focus. Optical flips between positive and negative space cause one to question what is and isn’t there. Infused with a vaguely ominous feeling and a sense of suspended time characterized by dusk, these works are inspired by the Park's ghosts; its layered histories in which the 21st Century is superimposed on the past, and refer to the omnipresent sensation in every corner of the park that things are not quite as they seem. The idyllic landscape bears silent witness to, as well as evidence and traces of, the human dramas that unfold within it. It bears witness as well as to the contemporary folly of global warming and its deleterious effects on nature.
