About this work
‘Zweilicht’ means half light. ‘Zwielichtig’ means shady, shifty. Through the vernacular of landscape I see a dialogue about ‘Current Times’. My view is to express what I see evolving in the distance. At times, a cynical uncontrollable future. We live in a ‘zwielichtig’ time. Current day economics and politics are a strain. We see things in half light. We are consumed by wealth, greed and intolerance. Spray paint and aluminum house paint are utilized in my work to express mass discontent. I utilize Rothko’s composition of ‘window-like voyeurism’ …creating layers to a view, peeling away, to discover what lies beyond.
