This series is an homage to the California lifestyle. Its free spirit and abundant nature is more and more in contrast with the highly technological land it has become. I am interested in treating the visual conflict between these two landscapes and their dichotomy. This is a land where we all navigate the integration of a powerful natural landscape and the landscape of data and science.
The use of stylistic graphic flowers and vegetation nearly floats on the surface of this composition like a surreal element in memory of the Flower Power days where free spirit and free love were celebrated.

My process includes picking up wild flowers on my walk in Tiburon and making my own stencils from them and repeat the patterns to show the mix of natural and digital languages in our lives. I use acrylic paint and spray paint. The entanglement of technology and Nature is our new societal landscape.
