Why American Hinterlands?
Hinterland comes from a German word that means “the land behind.”
American Hinterlands is a phrase that both guides and describes my interests as an artist. The structures and spaces that intrigue me as an artist exist in this "land behind;" in the glimpses over freeway sound barriers, in the rows of tract houses lining desolate valleys and in the massive discount stores with empty parking lots.
On this site you will find both a visual investigation into the physical structures of North American environments and a conceptual investigation into the American collective imagination through making in print media, paper sculpture and installation.
