Artist Statement 

Over the course of the past year, I have created countless iterations of four original landscapes: a mountain waterfall, cliffs at sea, country fields, and waves at sea. Each landscape represents memories of my privilege to grow up surrounded by a vibrant environment. Instead of capturing the nostalgia for these memories in energetic color, I explore the underlying linear structure that composes each scene. While the minimalist greyscale drawings are initially a stark experience, they represent a composed reflection upon fleeting moments that can never be recreated. Ultimately, I hope the viewers can insert their own colorful memories into each template I have created.
