These works are composed with the notion that each individual is their own unique blend, but all are part of, and reliant upon, a larger system. All works in this project are made with oil paint and resin on panel with additional mixed media.

This is an ongoing project that I started last year to see how I could discover, experiment with and document the different art materials that are currently in my studio. I used macro photography and painted with light to find a dramatic solution to transform what is usually considered a mundane material into an interesting photograph. Eventually I can see turning this into a book so I tend to see the different media as chapters. 
Ephemeral Permanence, references the natural world in an effort to consider the transitory essence of being, and to confront my own sense of existential dread. Finding comfort in the transient cycle of Nature, I hope to convey tranquility and solitude in an era of chaos and uncertainty. This body of work contains two separate series, one created by digital means, the other utilizing traditional photographic techniques, specifically the Sabattier effect. I hope to honor historical tradition, while also embracing modern methods of photographic image creation.
