Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area

I’ve pursued these photographic collages to better express my impressions of the landscapes I’ve inhabited and the feelings and associations they evoked. More than what I can achieve in a single photograph, they bring together the sweeping context and the iconic elements that preside over a landscape, with any metaphorical imagery triggered by my experience. I overlay the analytical aspect of our human nature, the metrics we can’t help but use in our pursuit of understanding and mastering the world around us. As any landscape has its phenomenological origins, I include references to the ongoing processes that gave rise to its morphology. The goal is to include the many layers of meaning that I experience and hopefully others will discover their own interpretations.
