Paper Wings

"Paper Wings" is an exploration of line and observation of celestial bodies. In He Sapa \ Black Hills of South Dakota the night landscape shimmers in the silver light from the night sky. On clear nights one can stand in the prairie grass and understand the landscape to its simplest elements — earth and sky. When I am in in urban settings with light pollution and large buildings, I imagine the buildings to be canyons and lights from lit windows, to stars. These works are imagined memory sky-capes, they are abstractions of line that are imbued with notions of flight, connection to place, and existence.
