These landscapes are not recognizable as particular geographic places Rather, they are fragments of nature and human existence recomposed as scenes, as mind and memory build associations: an arc of earth holds continents of flowers and rich soil and a reaching hand. These are not renderings of an actual landscape, but reimagining's that incorporate both randomness and narrative. Based in the current global environmental crisis, this body of work is a poetic demonstration of the beauty of the Earth and human responsibility. Utilizing Van Dyke printed photography, thread, ink, dye, and wax, the fiber is rubbed, embroidered, silkscreened, painted and printed.
