| Artist Statement: Although it may not be America’s loneliest road, a portion of US Highway 50 has that designation for a reason. On its way from Maryland to California, it crosses Nevada, the driest state in the union. For personal reasons, I extend the theme to include some of Utah. As a child, I traveled back and forth between parents on this highway. The 500 mile drive from Fillmore, Utah, to Reno, Nevada, was devoid of farming for 410 miles. The rivers that rise on either side of the Great Basin never find their way to the sea and wind up wasting away in large evaporation ponds like the Great Salt Lake. The region informs the way I think about light, and although I was not aware of it, the long vistas taught me to see instability. It is a feature of any horizon and key to a sense of depth in painting. It is a nice return to mending miles of silence strung along by power lines and waves of sage known as The Loneliest Road in America. |
