This work springs from having spent a year traveling between New York City and Raleigh, NC, while in a long-distance relationship. Constant travel has the effect of displacing me physically as well as emotionally. A body of work emerged from this experience in which nothing is exactly what it appears at first glance. In an attempt to remedy those feelings of dislocation, I decided to videotape the flights, finally creating a video that condensed a year of travel into two minutes. The graphite drawings appear to be abstractions but are instead are land masses, water or clouds, based on stills from the accompanying dvd projection, and the black on black painting is almost invisible, coming into view only as one passes in front of them and can be read as water or light or reflection.
