I am a painter based in New York City. My current paintings explore the history of air-bombing, which we tend to accept these days as a common practice in warfare. Surprisingly, this method of fighting is less than a century old, coinciding, as it must, with the technological development of flight. My paintings are meditations on the cost of this practice - both to humans and to our environment. My work is not invested in taking sides in any particular conflict, but instead in looking at the commonalities in these occurrences across time, locations and cultures. Many of these places are personal to me and are part of my family history.
