Grass, Greener, Other Side, 2024Oil on linen
20 × 16 in.
Grass, Greener, Other Side pictures a luminous alpine meadow behind the cool geometry of a chain-link fence. Snow-capped peaks and saturated grasslands shimmer with painterly depth, yet the metallic grid interrupts access, transforming what is widely considered beautiful into an image out of reach. Neusser’s juxtaposition of surface and vista invites reflection on longing, control, and the subtle barriers—both material and psychological—that shape our relationships to landscapes we can often see but not experience.
