Flood Aftermath and Other Hurricane Stories
Floods Aftermath and Other Hurricane Stories is a series of paintings on blue tarps depicting stranded houses in the landscape after the effects of Hurricanes and heavy floods. The paintings aim to comment on the material of the blue tarps and the relationship that exists between temporary solutions and architectural alternatives in the aftermath of catastrophes, as these tarps become part of the landscape.
