Ah, okay, strangely enough this picture has answered many questions for me about my creative path! When making my website I debated a lot about whether or not to have two sections: people and landscapes. Because they are sort of different bodies of work but then I have several people/landscapes combined images. I have been cautiously playing with the idea of figure+landscape over the past year and a half yet simultaneously continuing to create these separate bodies of work. This has made it difficult for me to write an artist statement. There is a clear consistency and mission behind my work but the choice in two different subject matters seemed vague and indifferent.
Okay, so yea, I am a person and people are beautiful/important to me and clearly so is nature. People and nature are obviously connected but how am I connecting them? Seeing this image made me realize how much my figures and landscapes belong together! I now know that I need to embrace their union and go full force with a new series completely joining the two.
SO happy I feel like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2_2Z2u74Tk
