Maryhill Museum

Solo exhibition "Vista Vista". A large scale mural featuring photo montage and painting approaches depicting the Columbia River Gorge ecosystem.

10 x 48 feet

This work interprets the Columbia Gorge and its vast scale and natural beauty. It is created using large manipulated photographic prints integrated into a hand painted mural. The image abstracts both photo documentation and landscape painting to comment on the impossibility of capturing the experience seen in person, instead celebrating it as a fleeting moment of euphoric experience.
