Geodic – 2016
Geodic is a study in perception, scale, and looking.
The subject is of blasted rock inside an old train tunnel that constitutes the westernmost part of the Kettle Valley Railway – a disused rail line that traverses southwestern British Columbia, and is now a park site.
The blasted and shattered rock, framed by the concrete supports of the vaulted tunnel roof are reminiscent of both massive, rudimentary, geodes, and the frenetic paintings of the American Abstract Expressionists of the 1940’s & 1950’s.
