Distance

It seems to me that with any representation of landscape in art the implicit distance risks alienating the viewer from the scene. 

I wanted to draw attention to this and rather than use the usual techniques of perspective I thought, as a digital artist, that I could reference how we all to often experience the natural environment, at a distance. Observers rather than participants. 

It seems right as an artist to struggle and fail to capture the natural world. A world that’s increasingly objectified, observed rather than felt.

With these images the viewer has to physically put distance between themselves and the image in order to find the usual landscape-art effects. 

My digital art practice inspired by photography as much as painting is varied and experimental as I look for a vocabulary of my own. 

I have them printed onto beautiful, warm  Hahnemühle photorag archival paper.

I hand sign and number each of the 5 editions.
