CAMERON ZEBRUN
I am, by nature, an observer and collector. What I collect consists of images, experiences, emotional responses, and ideas. My work draws on this catalog or atlas of images and responses as a resource to create another unique experience. In the studio, when this material is filtered through the intuitive process I use when I build and paint, the resulting works of art provide a map or journal of the fluid, non-linear way I experience life. This experiential cycle reinforces and renews itself through revelation and discovery.
I’ve always been fascinated by the systems and conventions used by science to interpret the physical nature of our world. For several years my work has used these conventions to explore landscape subjects in non - traditional ways.
Most important are my direct observations of a specific place, the topography, the smell and noise, weather conditions, and when in the studio as the objects are made, the sensual memory of the place.
