Artist Statement: I have always been impressed by the way rock features of southern Utah interact with the sky. The negative space between craggy monolithic plateaus and the endless night sky cooperated as a measureless cosmic dance. These two studies “Landscape Figures I” and “Landscape Figures II” are visual experiments with the idea of earth and sky as human figures. This idea was greatly inspired by Ancient Egypt (Nut and Geb), Aztec (Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl), Michelangelo Buonarotti (Day and Night, Dusk and Dawn Tomb of Duke Giuliano de”Medici), and even our own Mount Timpanogos.
