Angles Of Cannon Beach by Brooke Borcherding

In *Angles of Cannon Beach*, Borcherding constructs a landscape through deliberate geometric intervention. The composition fragments the coastal view into discrete planes of color and form, where the horizon line fractures and shifts across the canvas surface. Oil paint application remains evident—brushwork establishes both structure and texture, creating a tension between representation and abstraction. The work demonstrates how perspective can be disrupted through compositional choice, allowing multiple viewpoints to coexist within a single frame. Rather than depicting a unified scene, Borcherding presents Cannon Beach as a subject reconsidered through angular planes and carefully calibrated tonal relationships, emphasizing the constructed nature of visual experience itself.
