despite or because of dual perspective piece carries correct feeling

Field 2 Mount - digital painting and art prints - 2005

Cycling through some of my various pieces, I felt that this one should be featured. Part of this piece’s failure is also its beauty. Something I frequently like is the cusp between ugly and beautiful - or reading things in different ways because there is cause for duality.

What I am talking about in the above piece is that the dirt rows, which were the focus of this piece, look at a glance like they are cut into the mountain - but then they also look like they lead up to a precipice.

The perspective may be a little tricky in this work, but the mounded dirt and the mountain behind work exactly right. If you are familiar with this land you know. And if not, it doesn’t matter - there is something pleasing here and with luck a feeling which transcends having experienced the area or not.

It is also a piece which works in a wide range of art print sizes.
