“These paintings break with landscape painting traditions, and propose a new relationship to the land itself. Where is this place? What has happened? What comes next? Instead of a distant, timeless view seen through an imaginary window, these obsessively painted close-ups accumulate to build an intimate, urgent portrait of a place and condition across time—our time. These fragments of a parched landscape embody the seductive physicality of oil paint, and decisively reject pictorial conventions of horizon line, panorama, grandiose scale, and their implied connotations of power and control. Authentic power lies in the ability to see the path we are on, to envision a way forward.� - Karen Kitchel
