A few years ago I started using stolen fire extinguishers to make Land Art…The cloud formed from these fire extinguishers literally erases the landscape. Then it is redrawn. Almost as if the cloud which had at one point annihilated it, brings it back to life, and gives it a deeper dimension….Many landscapes don’t survive to this process and, even if they can be beautiful in reality, they die once they have been captured and portrayed by an artist. My intervention destroys the landscape but actually allows it to survive its representation. .
