From the series Views from the Shoreline (1986-1987) which references 15th century Florentine profile paintings by Piero della Francesca and his compression of space between the portrait and the landscape behind. Yet Thorne-Thomsen uses that familiar construction to create images that evoke a surrealist landscape of the unconscious juxtaposed with the land, not the land owned by the figure but rather a symbol of earth and the continuum of time.
