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. | Made of Silver not of clay. |
---|---|---|
A star burned out. | Painted skies in my brain. | I could really use a wish right now. |
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand. | See what you think but you don’t think it now. | When I can't see beyond my doubt. |
All my dreams will melt like sand. | Through the quickening haze. | To say I love you right out loud. |
Imagining the world has stopped. | One day soon I'll hold you like the sun. | We could watch it from the clouds. |
Take less shape and disappear. |
