Artist Statement
My MFA Thesis exhibition, 42.88°N, -88.01°W, consists of a series of graphite drawings on paper that investigate the area around my home in Franklin, Wisconsin. Each work presents a unique interpretation of hunting on the land by using photographic source material (including images from digital deer cameras) as inspiration. Through the process of drawing, I revisit the landscape of my childhood as it was, as it is and as I imagine it to be. In this work I interweave notions of familiarity and distance with intimacy and voyeurism to reconstruct memories.
