Thoughout the history of landscape painting, artists have placed their indelible fingerprint on nature. The editing and recomposing of the landscape within the confines of a two dimensional plane is the filtering of nature through the lens of the artist. Narrative landscape painting, in which the artist depicts imagined figures in a landscape derived from on-site sketches, illustrates this process. PRDS simulates this transformation by having figures within an imaginary landscape combine to form a portrait of the artist. Creation is made in the image of the creator. Each figure is formed from a magnetic sheet cut into puzzle-pieces whose universal connections allow each piece to interlock with any other. Infinite figurative permutations exist through the recombination of limbs, torsos and heads to make outrageous mutations. In so doing, the painting extends the power of human creativity beyond the arranging of figures and landscape features to the composing of the structure of those figures and the charting of their evolution.
