Currier’s work can evoke Japanese art from the Muromachi period, a time when merchants hung landscape paintings in their city offices so they could have access to nature even while away from it. These paintings offered moments of pause and reflection during the workday. The zen practice of honoring nature, the foundation on which we build our lives, seems to permeate Currier’s work.
