Kathleen Vance Artist Statement, “Traveling Landscapes” With the series “Traveling Landscapes” Vance creates miniature landscapes inside vintage suitcases and trunks. The bucolic scenes harken to a place out of time and a romanticism of nature, with lush foliage and flowing streams. These relaxing scenarios consider personal land ownership, water rights and the need for stewardship and preservation of our green areas and water sources. These works bring nature back into one's daily life and the hurried pace of each person's travels can be slowed to a moment of respite for contemplation and reflection. "I sculpt imagined, recreated landscapes in a miniature scale and displace them from their original context to present an unexpected vision of nature to the viewer. I enjoy the sense of discovery with encounters of my artwork. My Traveling Landscape series combines a sense of travel with the preciousness of our natural resources. I activate the inner landscapes with running water through streams and directed lights from inside to entice a closer look. I incorporate soil and materials from the location I am representing, to give a sense of authenticity to the experience. For this series I reference primarily vintage travel cases: train cases and steamer trunks relate to a time when travel was slower and the distances between us and our homelands and foreign landscapes were more difficult to access. The cases act to abstract the idea of travel and romanticize the idyllic and luxurious qualities of travel. I utilize cases that have indications of travel, with notes and markers which give a feeling that they have been used for transportation of someone’s special or personal items. The landscapes created for each and contained within, are inspired by these impressions” -Kathleen Vance
