PICTURED ROCKS

These photographs were made at Michigan’s famous Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Each day, Lake Superior’s waves count out an apparently endless sense of time. These photographs are pervaded by the different time scales of the place; geologic time embodied by the great dunes and eroding bedrock, seasonal time captured in the angle of the sun and changing weather, diurnal time as the sun’s shadows track across the sand, and momentary time as the waves rushed in and receded from the empty beaches, leaving behind their delicate traces.

THE PASTORAL LANDSCAPE PANORAMAS

The Pastoral Landscape photographs transport viewers to the beautiful rural landscape of Southern Michigan. The photographs capture the quiet times of year when the fields lie dormant. They are contemplative, often moody images. Worn but well cared for farm buildings contribute their simple, classic forms to this ordered landscape. They reflect the presence and works of men who remain unseen. They varying atmospheres of fog and snow contribute to the sense of unending space. The photographs have a strong formal quality created by bold contrasts, simple forms and dramatic perspective.

THE BLUE GARDEN

The Blue Garden Series began simply by noticing the richness and beauty of the gardens of my home town. Converted to black and white and tinted in a deep blue, the images capture the soft morning light in which they were made. Shot during a summer in which I struggled to help my father care for my mother as she succumbed to Alzheimer’s disease, each plant is beautiful and life-affirming, yet they are tinged with the sadness that enveloped me as I watched my mother’s decline. The images are both literally and metaphorically blue.
