These landscapes, based on shopping mall parking lots, explore the dialogue between image and abstraction while evoking metaphors of emptiness and impermanence. Familiar, generic, and loaded with cultural significance, the parking lot offers a juxtaposition of the natural and artificial. Images of cars and grid lines are reduced and simplified, as in memory. As soon as we apprehend these fragile images, they begin to dissolve into abstraction.
