The Binocular Vision series consists of pairs of overlapping landscape images. These multimedia paintings all focus on water, its movement,translucency, reflective quality, and the landscape that contains it.
Each diptych panel repeats half of the image of its partner panel. This repetition alludes to how we see, how our vision marries the view from each eye. As static paintings, the repetition in the two paintings creates a visual dialogue and speaks to how we look at and interpret landscapes.
The image is created through the use of paint brush strokes and paper collage application.
