On the Road to Sand’s Ranch
“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road. ”
I find things that are commonplace, OFTEN have A greateR impact on uS THAN THE UNIQUE.
I love using images that are familiar to draw the viewer in. This is an experience that they have had many times before, Whether through the eyes of the solo traveler, or FROM A childHOOD family road trip. one experiences AND REVISITS the BIGNESS - the eternity of this landscape. Whether you’re in the driver’s seat or not, it’s hard not to recognize THE scale OF the world in YOUR relationship to this place.
With this piece, I wanted the autumnal colors to ground the dynamism between the rich, azure blue of the sky, the abundance of thick white cumulus clouds, the deep ochre grasses, the sienna earth and the diminishing black highway. All are balanced players in this adventure.
If you were here, would it even matter what your destination was, or have you already arrived?
