"Union" is the expansive, crowning jewel of the Tearing Through the West series. This large-scale horizontal landscape seamlessly stitches together the jagged granite grandeur of the mountains with lush, rolling alpine meadows. A vibrant foreground of red Indian paintbrush and yellow wildflowers grounds the piece, while a beautifully detailed yellow bird perches in the center, bridging the two distinct terrains. It is a stunning, panoramic celebration of Western road trips and the beauty of colliding landscapes.
About the Collection:
During the summer of 2026, I packed up and hit the road, traveling through Sisters, OR, Missoula, MT, and Jackson, WY. 'Tearing Through the West' marks a unique shift in my practice: instead of my usual vintage books, these pieces are built entirely from contemporary travel guides picked up along the way. The modern paper is incredibly thin and delicate, requiring a new level of patience and precision to cut and layer. This collection is a vibrant, tactile diary of tearing through the modern American West.
Original Details:
Medium: Hand-cut mixed-media paper collage on watercolor paper.
Support: Strathmore Watercolor Paper, Cold Press, 140 lb, 300g.
Dimensions: 17" × 13".
Framing: Sold unframed.
