Scenic Scenes and Landscapes
A fun seasonal piece for the upcoming Autumn months. I ask the viewer to take a break from the hustle of a busy day and enjoy this surprisingly familiar scene. As your eye moves around this carefully constructed captured moment you may see something recognizable perhaps from your own back yard or feel the changing of the crisp chill in the air as you hear the quaint quiet sounds of this favorite season of many. So please hold on and take with you what you have found in this peaceful piece of art as you return to your regularly scheduled program of a day.
A collage inspired by the Great Lakes found bordering the American/Canadian border. Residents of Michigan, Wisconsin, New york, Ohio, and Minnesota whose backyards may line these lakes I hope are quick to recognize this winter scene when snow melts into the choppy waters of what we sometimes refer to as our “inland seas”.
All 1957 images used in the making of this analog collage. Similiar to a surgeon’s precise talent that they must possess, I have cut and graphed together a world much like the one Robinson Crusoe so earnestly tried to escape from to leave behind. I extend my personal invitation for the viewer to take a breath and enjoy what this private island has to offer. But be warned, as you, like myself may accidentally stay too long. Inspired by the true story of “The Mutiny on the Bounty”
Constructed in its entirety from the small leftover scrap cuts normally thrown away from previous peculiar picturesque pieces I’ve completed.
