The long history of nature on this planet, (including the evolution of life forms, continental shifts, the transformation of ocean floor into mountain range) is a subject I try to explore in all my work. I have to admit that I am impressed by the effect a billion years or so can have on one's perspective. I see the world as a place in a state of constant change, with its own pace apart from human activity, and subject to the effects of our actions.

The most recent worklooks at climate as a continuity of conditions over a period of time that defines a place. The Climate series is an attempt to represent the landscape as a function of time. By stacking or sectioning the landscape into "stripes", what you see is a progression of change or abstract pattern, a larger sense of place that includes a fluidity of view and interconnectedness over time. The time blocks in some paintings may span a volcanic age to an ice age into a more temperate climate. Other paintings use high tide to low tide (rotation of the earth) as the visual clock.
