Works on Paper: The Backwater Paintings
The Backwater Paintings are a series of intimately scaled landscape and maritime-based compositions that engage with a diverse set of South Florida ecosystems. From levee to inlet, the project navigates multiple sites along South Florida’s Water Management Districts offering a firsthand account of some of the most ecologically important waterways in the country. The Backwater Paintings are made in the naturalist tradition working initially from observation, and then later refined in the artist’s studio. The locations chosen are revisited on multiple occasions throughout the year providing a unique time-lapse component to the project’s ongoing archive.
