The basic elements of the
land have always fascinated me.
I feel drawn to wild places from icy
mountains to rocky deserts - landscapes where the geology is exposed and the continual
creation of the land is at its most evident.
Much of my recent work is
related to the canyons of Utah and Arizona.
The desert landscape is a maze of deep, narrow and beautifully eroded
canyons.
During the dry season, the
narrow canyons can be explored.
Rock is all you can see at times, the walls sweeping high above and
winding away ahead.
Within the walls the rock appears to flow where the water used to be.
Echoing the forms of water; eddies and currents can be seen in
the sculpted rock. There is
a stillness that constantly suggests motion and a quietness that speaks
of a different time.
