This body of work, made throughout the 2020-21 pandemic period, is a reflection of living between New York City and the Hudson Valley, working with greater proximity to nature and thinking about the conjunction & disjunction of the built environment and the natural world/landscape. Formally, this small-scale work continues to focus on the use of deep space, skewed perspective, as well as fine detail and surface ornamentation. Themes such as transparency, symmetry, interior and exterior, and the contrast of the geometric and the organic join with concerns regarding pattern, place and psyche.  Color is much more prominent here than in earlier work. In some cases (such as in March and April of 2020), color was employed as an emotional directive or a kind of wish fulfillment—waiting for Spring, and attempting to gather a sense of growth and hope rather than the predominant sense of death and illness during this time.
