Art Porfolio
We dwell, not just in buildings, but in the fourfold coming together of the material world, living creatures, meaning, and a felt sense of place. We build, not just structures, but the structures of that coming together. jd slack’s pastel images of dwellings bring into being versions of that structure: relations among earth, sky, matter, suggestions of the presence or absence of living creatures, and, always, a sense of occupying that particular place. Never simple, these paintings depict what is complex in as simple and direct a way as possible.
