Acrylic paint on actual picture postcards, 3.5 X 5.5″ each postcard, installation view (top). Sparkling Clean Sand Beach, Bar Harbor, Maine (bottom)
This collection (set of 100) of “landscape paintings” was developed from picture postcards that employ disembodied tree limbs in the foreground as a compositional framing device. This familiar visual language offers the viewer a vantage point and often evokes an image of the place as a destination for adventure, nostalgia, or enterprise. In this series of postcards, the point of interest has been painted over, making space for reimagining the destination.
