Appalachian Wasteland
22×28 oil on canvas, framed
It was quiet after the storm. You could hear children playing outside down the valley. The night was so dark because the power was out for 27 days. Trees down look like scattered toothpicks on the mountains. And everyone was isolated, together.
These works are original and one of a kind.
They are part of a body of work produced in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, in Spruce Pine. They are the product of witnessing and experiencing first hand the power and destruction, as well as inherent strength of individuals, communities, and environments afftected by a natural disaster.
The range of styles is due to a number of factors. The artist has not used oil paintings as a medium in over 20 years, emotions in the aftermath of the storm have been extreme and unexpectedly various from day to day, and the change of memories over time, reflections, dreams and conversations both internal and external has mutated the forms the visual expressions take at various sittings.
