Portals of Discovery
This work explores the contemporary diminishing experience of nature. With layers of landscape now viewed through the phone camera pointed out the windows of cars or trains or planes in which we travel, the vast world becomes a blur, moving from description to the communication of pure visual experience. Spaces exist where windows become portals giving access to a place where the imagery is familiar yet dislocating. To fracture our sense of place is a certain dissolution of self, invoking a transformation, a portal of discovery, a exploration of new realities.
