More about The Scout
I’ve always loved the crepuscular and view that space as a kind of border town between day and night. For this piece and The Unbreakable Chain I was thinking about Frederic Remington’s nocturnes of the early 20th century. Informed by his experience in war and loss, I am drawn to the light in these pieces, the firelight, candlelight and moonlight. With my own work I love the challenge of collaging a world of night.
Created in September 2021 while on artist residency in northern Wyoming.
