Interaction with a Picture of a Forest 
As the idea of "wilderness" approaches obsolescence, I am interested in unleashing some of the utopian potential that once lived inside that concept in order to rethink how the woods can function in our society. In June 2007 I started photographing 30 acres of woods in Western Massachusetts prior to deforestation. I am now in the process of sorting, altering and cutting over 800 digital photographs that will soon be all that remains of this landscape.

Destruction Circles
These drawings are both fantasies of what the woods will look like once it is destroyed and an attempt to record and remember all of the patterns, textures, growths that I observed while organizing and cutting the photographs or walking in the woods. There are currently 20 graphite drawings in this series ranging in size from 8 x11 inches to 60 x 100 inches.
We walked into/out of the forest 
The photographs and the drawings just cannot seem to capture the experience of moving through the woods which are so dense that as you have the strange sensation of moving forward and remaining in neutral at the same time. This series of Gouache and Acrylic paintings on paper and on canvas are based on the patterns in Early American Furniture.
