BUMILLER, TRINE

Statement
My paintings, drawing and installations reference the natural world and center on landscape and memory. Images are abstracted and recombined to convey the rhythms and underlying forces inherent in our immediate environment. They merge an idea of place with memory and existence, and address personal loss relative to losses of habitat and changes brought about through climate change.

In alteration of colors, forms and perspectives, the works evoke a universe based on observation and respect for the environment, and one in which connections are made between memories and experience, between time and place, and between imagined space and physical existence.
