Art and Nostalgia in the Age of Technology
As an outgrowth of the larger themes addressed in my research regarding time, place, identity and purpose, my recent artwork has been influenced by concepts such as the fragmentary and the whole, the contemporary present and the ancient past, the process and its end product, ritual engagement and belief, practice as a form of sustenance, individuality and cultural heritage, and a search for what may have been lost, all set against a backdrop of both, the landscapes of the American West and Great Britain.
