In this series, drawings of rocks by the artist’s father are enlarged, cropped and framed to receive and cradle a photograph of a mountain peak. Contradictions between size, perspective, foreground and background are evident as well as thoughts towards intimacy and distance, family and childhood. Together they collapse to form something that is analogous to the fleeting, ungraspable notion of a feeling. Although appearing unified, the overall image is neither one thing nor the other, but also not quite identifying as both things at the same time. It is forever destined to not quite be what it could be.
