Latitude
Latitude




















The paintings in the Latitude series describe the changes of color, light and motif of a region as the earth tilts on its axis during the course of a year. This selection describes the seasonal changes in Hoosick, New York and nearby Williamstown, MA.
Latitude is the first part of what became a larger outdoor painting project that lasted seven years. The second part, Along a Long Line, is a set of paintings and a book recording a trip along the 70th longitude beginning at the Arctic Circle and ending at the equator. The third part, Antipodes, is a road trip to write, photograph and paint in landscapes on opposite points of the globe. Marking a point, drawing an arc, and implying a diameter, these three projects visualize the earth as a shared space, sectioned by scientific measure rather than political boundaries.
