Scene from a Cultivated Jungle undergrowth II, 2015
Painting
45.5" H x 62.75" W
On Hold
From a series that explores nature and its representation, based on photographs taken in botanical 
conservatory gardens. 

 Inverting the grand vistas of East Asian and Western landscape painting, this series presents cropped-in views of an indoor manufactured ecosystem where the effects of weather and death are suspended. The technique of collage allows a layered and textured surface to build up, to approximate the illusion of three-dimensional space.
