Land / Field Studies
No one suspects the days to be gods.
~ Emerson
(quoted on the title page of The Writing Life, by Annie Dillard, and a gift from BT)
This work considers a simultaneous sense of the fixed and the fleeting with the paper itself being a unified field.
Color, shape and mark, (both printed and embossed), are used to indicate movement,
while shallow compressed pictorial space functions as a visual metaphor for immutability.
The prints were made in response to a resonant experience of living on a cattle farm
surrounded by mountains, and observing the cyclical life of the fields.
