Mixed media, dimensions variable. The strange synthetic or denaturized landscapes we now see in advertising are highly simplified appropriations used by designers to present an ideal of what we look for in a landscape. The real landscape is much more complicated. There are many more details that can never be codified. We are used to eliminating, editing this out of our perception.
Belief systems are the same thing.
We eliminate all the awkward things, experiences that do not fit our belief structures. Even artists do that. They are still real. You build a whole scenario. It is like planting trees in a park, the setup may be fake, but the trees are real, and they do what trees do.
