These images were created by painting with light projected through colored water and the shadows of objects on a tabletop.  While they resemble cityscapes they are completely fabricated realties. The title of the series "Both Sides Now" refers to the song by Joni Mitchell but also to my view of the Hudson River which I have lived on both sides of over the course of many years. Each of these images is titled with lyrics from songs about clouds.

​

As with most of my work this series references my concerns about climate change and the increase in coastal flooding. While my real life view of the Manhattan skyline inspired these creations they are made looking through water as it rises at my feet.

See the rain through a gaping wound.

I hope you're dancing in the sky.
