I have tried this kind of thing before. but I'm going to give it another shot. Currently, I am in my third year of graduate school at ASU for a Masters of Fine Arts in Printmaking. I work mainly in the areas of digital and digitally enhanced printmaking. By digitally enhanced, I mean any process where by at least on step of part was created digitally. My main focuses in that area are laser cut wood relief, polymer plate (or solarplates), and screen printing.
My work has been exploring the ideas of how humans use our natural surroundings, how we view them and what we intend for them. While there are some of us who feel we need to protect more land from destruction and construction, a vast majority of the population are addicted to the idea of manifest destiny like a drug. The need for the American Dream and the white picket fence that comes with it has driven us to spread over the countryside without a thought. My work attempts to critique this thinking and cause the viewer to reconsider their place in life and their personal relationship with the land. I will start with some images from the past and then start adding in work from the present as I go.
Lets see if I can make this happen.
Best
