Some places, we can't go (IV).jpg

This on-going series of work explores how we create meaning through experiencing landscape. Sometimes, when remembered, these places become ungraspable. Other times, the places that seem to be of importance to us cannot be reconciled. These paintings explore the inbetweenness of landscape – how can a place be both with time and outside of our understanding of time? What happens when we try to remember?

Yet, our perception of place is created through our very being-in-the-world. We remember places and know them within ourselves. This very “recreation” of such places is often fugitive and futile, a reminder of the dynamic relationship between our bodies and place.
