Crest From Below, Tahoe Tree Line 6, 2018
Pochoir Printed and Drawn Colored Pastel on Wax on Panel, 10"x 10"
The Crest from Below, Tahoe Tree Line series focuses on the fading light through roadside tree tops. This is a unique view that is caused by the permanent path of a paved road through seemingly wild lands. Over time the trees morph around our laid asphalt and offer these crescent shaped landscapes to those who move along them. Reduced silhouettes that rely on delicately implied details and hold saturated colors of light along the edges. A contrast of dusk's blinding highlights against the darkened tonal forms of the passing forest. Utilizing digital technologies, hobby-grade fabrication machinery, & industry plastic materials I have been able to produce highly detailed pochoir screens in plastic, & use them to build up non-editioned monoprints of photo halftones, using in soft pastel on poured wax surface. It provides a unique ground to play at the boundaries of printmaking, photo imaging and drawing.
