Visitors to the studio will see work made during the pandemic when feeling confined I found myself traveling the world virtually via live webcams of places I’ve never been. Thanks to Google Earth I gained access to remote uninhabited islands in the South Pacific, climbed mountains in Russia, and glided along the Newfoundland coast. Visiting resource sites, I gathered images of all manner of natural phenomena that became fodder for my new work. The juxtaposition of images of these locations with quotidian objects is the groundwork for this visual exploration and virtual flying.
