Gas 19 by 26 inches Pastel on paper
“Gas” marks a new direction in my landscapes, away from playing fields and parks toward raw tracts off highways. The work now happens at the intersection of Nature and Order.
America abounds with underutilized land. “Gas” uses this idle land to awaken our sense of husbandry. The work’s title refers to Edward Hopper’s “Gas” (1940). In it a road recedes past a lighted filling station into moonless woods. For some the darkened road is disquieting; for others, promise or a challenge lies ahead, but without bulldozers.
