Gail Chase-Bien
"Landscape for me has always been a metaphor for the human spirit...voluptuous and barren, calm/eruptive, luminous or shadowed. Living in its lap, one has the pleasure of watching its daily turnings. Unlike the urban experience, man is no longer the monolith, but a humbled interloper in an expanding universe. Nature takes on enormous proportion and significance. One's perception of space and time seem irrevocably altered by the fugitive, never fixed properties of water, wind, sun and rain. Light spilling into water can elicit feelings of sublime content or deep introspection. It is this continuous dichotomy, this pushing and pulling, that attracts me to the landscape process. I seek to catch a moment when light, air, and water create a certain volupté and longing."
