Susan Downing-White’s ongoing series of oil paintings, Memento, records changes to specific landscapes within a 100-mile radius of her studio over the past three decades. Her series of map paintings, Where Water Meets Land, explore the same landscapes from a point of view above the clouds. Satellite imagery is used to interpret in paint the patterns of moving sand, runoff, land subsidence, and sea level rise. The two perspectives capture the fleeting grace of life in fragile places.
