the soundscapes '15 - present
Along the Hudson, the train’s whistle echoes down the valley announcing it’s arrival along tracks at the water’s edge.

Cars cross on a road cleaved into the center of the mountain across the river. Helicopters cut through the air, arriving from the military base downriver.

The sounds of insects and animals ebb and flow with the arrivals and departures of us.

At Breakneck's amphitheatre, I became fixated on the extent of our reach.
Perception of our presence and what I understood as nature's reactions to it made an impression on me. Particularly moving were the audible perceptions.

I had a sense that it was possible to find nature seemingly free of us visually, but that a microphone would always speak the truth; we may well be everywhere.

I seek out solitary trees to personify. They act as witnesses in landscape paintings.

Through these paintings and their accompanying audio recordings, I seek to provide a testament to the state of these places in hope of deepening an awareness of our presence and impact.
