"For ten years I have been working with an idea of impressing the 'made' environment-freeway networks, river systems, urban grids, agricultural landscapes--on the human body in my paintings. I wanted the work to manifest the oneness of body and environment suggested in Western science by the term 'organism field' and in Eastern philosophy by the concept of 'interbeing.'

Two years ago I added photography to the mediums I was using in the studio with this same idea, the first images astonished me. I could see that the photographs themselves could provide clarity and eliminate separation.

The result in the completed work is a 'compression of consciousness' between the human body and the environment or a large tree with a city grid acting as its bark. The central large form whether figure, tree or building being described by a series of smaller forms delicately woven over it's surface area.

The work reveals that how we use the land is how we use ourselves -that the transformation of environment is the same thing as transformation of body. There is no separation." - Jeff Myers
