  The Vanishing Landscape     July 4 -August 24, 2008

Human beings, along with all life, modify the environments in which they live.                        --Andy Goldsworthy

 

 

Three distinct artists will present work that comments to varying degrees on the state of the environment.

Ed Epping  (left, top) describes his latest series, Apprehension, as an attempt to examine multiple conditions and qualities that face him as a citizen of this country. He broadly uses the concept of landscape in these works to include the physical and mental-scapes he uses as subject, the internal and external depths of those settings, and the layers of complexity associated with each.

Shirley Mossman Nisbet's work is derived from the varied landscapes she encounters during her travels.  She absorbs images of the light and atmosphere, which she later translates into the interplay of light and space in her paintings.  Her most recent works feature images of melting glaciers from Alaska.

Ryan Russell (left bottom) creates landscape working on-site. By using color intuitively rather than descriptively, Russell conveys not only the physical existence of the trees but also the feeling of being among them.
