In Distant Landscape the window-like translucency of Duralene and Verathane suggest a mediation of nature through architecture. Conventions of botanical illustration and the stylized representations of plants taken from wallpaper patterns and architectural details in the building further this sense of voyeurism or distance rather than direct participation in the natural world. These works hover in front of the windows like strips of translucent wallpaper while the layers and reflections shift and change as the viewer passes by.
