Artist Alison Moritsugu creates stunning miniature works of art. Her canvas of choice? Logs! She paints beautiful scenes of landscapes on the logs themselves, painting directly on the rusted wood.
"In my log paintings, I examine the contrivances found in landscape paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries," she says. These landscapes, by artists such as Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Edwin Church, were deeply rooted in the political constructs of the time and depicted the land as a bountiful Eden, a limitless frontier ripe for conquest. I take these images out of their familiar context, the framed canvas, and paint directly on wood slices with bark intact. These landscapes appear as an homage to the idyllic art of the Hudson River School yet, by viewing the painting’s surface, the cross section of a tree, any sense of nostalgia or celebration of nature is countered by the evidence of its destruction."
"By exploring idealized views of nature, my work acknowledges our more complex and precarious relationship with the environment."
