Aerial Gaze (2004 – 2006)

 Aerial Gaze is a series of monotypes based on the view from a second-story 15’ window between Lake Street and Lagoon Avenue in Minneapolis.

Watching people from above is somewhat like watching clouds. Observers can imagine who and what they see in moving forms. An aerial perspective offers a curious dichotomy: the proximity to witness people intimately and the distance to envision them as anonymous patterns—brief formations in continual motion. Watching the street shows me tenderness, indifference, speed, stillness, and the language formed from pauses and overlaps.

Monotypes, lithography ink on Somerset newsprint paper (between 22” x 28” and 44” x 56”)
