Vanishing Point (VP) is implicitly about being in a car. As much as I'd like to deem these works a celebration of nature or libidinal geometric abstraction(?), every piece is informed by hurtling along graded road at speeds humans weren't able to reach without steep hills (or a lot of gunpowder) until very recently in our history. Cars are so ingrained in our lives that we forget how unnatural it is to drive, to have our landscape scaffolded by paved infrastructure, to endure droning noise and emissions and microplastics for the sake of more than anything, maintaining an economy. Cars represent a relationship to the world that I have come to see as unnatural, and this inherently leaves my works unsettled.
