In an attempt to see through others' eyes, I culled discarded landscape paintings found in area thrift and second-hand stores. By cutting and sewing together seventy specific 2" sections, I have created a brand new vista that possesses all the formal qualities of the original works — and of 'painting' as a genre. This new interpretation denies any specific location while adhering to the 'above and below' ideal of landscape paintings consisting of sky and horizon.
