"(g)landscapes" is a series of paintings based on Zendar, an alien planet that my father invented when I was a kid. He told my brother and I that our real father was from Zendar--that his ship serendipitously crashed in the woods behind our house. For years he painted pictures of our magical home planet, where Zendarians lived in harmony with the land. The buildings were organic and grown rather than constructed. People traveled to work on enormous bees that flew around by farting (we were kids, after all). These paintings embrace the extreme symbiosis of the world he created for us. Everything is connected, and if there is a focal point, it's a passing one. These (g)landscapes, born of the pineal tundra, invite you to consider the foundation of Zendari culture: that we're simply part of the world, not the center of it.

This is a series that is very much still in process; the current pieces are all imagined Zendari sunsets.
