This is a celebration of being alive, what we are, what's around us, what the almighty universe provides for us. A celebration of relations we may or may not recognize. A dichotomy that asks you to compare and contrast your own ideas. A celebration of things pulled from our daily existence, things with stories to tell.
These images are photographs of installations I have made in different locations throughout Nevada and Northern California, including San Francisco, Davis, Lake Tahoe, Pinnacles Natl. Monument, and various state parks in the Santa Cruz area.
As with many of you, I have strong bonds with the characters in this project, as they play great roles in my life. The images have lots to say. They try to speak through their visual presence. It's up to us to recognize a resonant truth in our own experience. The iconography of Celebrating Sweet Nature conjures issues of spirit, gender, exploitation, respect, morality, ecology, meaning and being.
