Pochesci I have always looked at landscape in relationship to architecture. I like going into spaces and seeing the landscape framed by the architecture. I am interested in linear perspective and “rational picture space”. My new paintings explore my search for home. I always am attracted to the dynamics of architectural space as a metaphor of a dwelling place of the soul . My paintings are a composite of many different realities that are put together and don’t actually exist anywhere but on the canvas. The rooms are spaces that I make up. The objects in the rooms are objects that I own. The houses and landscapes are places I have been. I make models of the houses so I can observe how light falls on them. I am intrigued by the poetics of a space, be it a room or a corner. The way light falls on the floor and the shadows that are cast speak to me. I look at the canvas as a type of stage. I feel that I am setting a drama or telling a story. The changes in scale that I am exploring enhance this “unreal” space. Are the rooms gigantic with normal size houses in them or are they doll houses? I feel that the paintings speak about time, place and memory. Click on image for larger view
