Mountain Museum

"MountainMuseum" Studio, New York City 2008-Present

What started as tracking lessons in order to see the landscape differently has resulted in a series of art installations that stage an unlikely encounter between pre-Enlightenment Cabinets of Curiosity, Goethe’s writings on morphology, Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau, and the dazzle paint and anti-range finding camouflage schemes of World Wars I and II (so-called ‘dazzle painting’.) Mountain Museum is an installation in my studio in New York City covering seven walls. Complex figure-ground relationships continually change supporting a symbolic ecology indoors that mimics the constant movement outdoors.
