Grounded glass
2022 COLLABORATION WITH KERRY DAVIS
Grounded Glass takes as its subject a restored Sitka spruce swamp and the muddy matter in its tidal flow. These close views of the swamp through mud-caked glass plates challenge the mythology of landscape hierarchy, both in terms of beauty and value; and raise mud to another level. Our mark-making on the murky glass borrows from the cliché verre process to create windows through which elements of the landscape appear in varying degrees of clarity. The project is a continuation of Palus, a meditation on this same swamp near the mouth of the Columbia River.
Works are 22” x 17” archival pigment prints in a limited edition of 5.
