This collection (100 painted postcards) of “landscape paintings” 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 other possibilities.
