Ghost House IV
20×24 oil on canvas, unframed
Why is that house gone? Why is that person gone? The house next door? It‘s fine. The people went to higher ground. Everything is covered in mud.
These works are original and one of a kind.
They are part of a body of work produced in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, in Spruce Pine. They are the product of witnessing and experiencing first hand the power and destruction, as well as inherent strength of individuals, communities, and environments afftected by a natural disaster.
The range of styles is due to a number of factors. The artist has not used oil paintings as a medium in over 20 years, emotions in the aftermath of the storm have been extreme and unexpectedly various from day to day, and the change of memories over time, reflections, dreams and conversations both internal and external has mutated the forms the visual expressions take at various sittings.
