EMERGENCE

Emergence is a visual meditation on the natural world that reveals the unities of structure connecting all physical phenomena. The fundamental elements of water and mineral are perpetually shaped by the intangible forces of time, wind, and natural processes. I see beyond my own previous perception of landscape as a reflection of human vision to a more expansive realm in which the Earth is a tangible manifestation of universal phenomena. These images lay bare the elemental structures of land and sea in ways that recall the human body, while simultaneously evoking sensations of impermanence and constant flux. By contemplating and observing the laws, elements, and forces that have created this spectacular planet, I am unraveling the essence of our human relationship to the cosmos.
