An installation that combines sculpture and painting to make bright, vibrant works. This is part of what will become a larger installation of various sculptural landscapes depicting forests, oceans, deserts, mountains, etc. The frame represents control; the curvilinear shapes defy it. Depicting abstracted elements leaping out from picture frames, this piece explores ideas of the unbridled energy of nature.
