"My drawings and watercolor paintings on paper for this project draw a parallel between the rural environment, steeped in history and nostalgia, and the nature drawings of Old Masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci. Detailed landscape drawings are accompanied by diagrammatic renderings of hydraulic fracturing wells, addressing the tension between machine and nature, the controlled and the wild. Intended as questions rather than statements about risk and responsibility, the drawings are isolated in fields of empty space that speak of deep country quiet as well as the disappearing landscape threatened by environmental instability and uncertainty."
