This artwork is a response to the transition of landscape environment over time. The artist watched new homes replace forests and fields in his home town.

In addition to subject matter these works play with formal ideas that address ways of seeing. He uses elements of Paint, photographs he has taken of his environment, photos of paint, and paintings of photos within his work to physical construct the painting and the structure. Since he constructs the structure with materials he would say the paintings are not just illusions of structures but rather structures in themselves.

To make light that's so intense,but altogether makes some sense. A collection of objects with light improvised through form, function, and aesthetic. The concept is simple and widely practiced throughout the product design industry of the past and present. This work is based on reclaiming the functions of used or found objects or materials. Their functions have been re-applied practically into lifestyle to describe new forms from old forms that function mainly as desirable objects with light. Light and sound are the principle mediums that conduct the processes and techniques needed to orchestrate this flurry of materials with forms and functions. These objects use material and form to sculpt light with rendering results that transform interior surfaces into highly decorative picturesque environments.
