some thing below the surface of objects

Though I am imaging the materiality of land I am actually exploring her incorporeal essence. I have always felt there is something below the surface of objects, an “energetic space” that we all resonate with on a profound level. I believe this resonance we feel when in the land is of primal origin. It operates on the level of DNA, at the very foundations of us as beings.

I seek to strip away distractions that exist even within the image itself, distractions that hinder an emotive experience of this energetic space. To this end my images have become less about the material world and representational landscape. Indeed, as the “sharp” and “easily perceived” landscape blurs new vistas of light, energy and emotion come into view.
