About

A View from A Train is a hybrid landscape. A stylized cartoon mountain range, the artwork suggests a world where the natural and the artificial coexist in a playful and optimistic dialogue. The mountain range is generated via an algorithm. Popping through this cartoon landscape are real evergreen trees that play with the scale of the piece as they grow.
