My paintings of scenes from moving vehicles address how the experience of travel influences people’s interactions with the contemporary American landscape. I aim to show the tension between the safe, stable inside of a vehicle and the fluctuating, transient, and sometimes unrecognizable landscapes seen over the course of one ride. I allude to specific phenomena such as suburban sprawl, neighborhood stratification, the homogenization of a landscape shaped by car culture, and how windows can act as shields from the diverse environments passed in transit. To both augment and deconstruct the travel experience, I juxtapose and skew traditional viewpoints, in some cases to the point of abstraction.
