Artist statement:
One's relationship to place, context and meaning are always in flux and fleeting. The American landscape as a whole has been created through history, mythology and metaphor. Perhaps all we see when we stand in front of the landscape are archetypes: preconceived notions and pre-experienced views. Landscape is a manifestation of culture. Our perception grows out of how we have seen the landscape represented historically and in popular culture.
