IMPRINTS

From high up in the air or only five feet above the ground, looking down provides a world of abstract wonder. Space and distance become ambiguous as I peer out of helicopters and fixed wing planes or step upon granite boulders with ancient glacial markings along the edge of Greenland’s Ilulissat glacier or on the once ancient seabed along Upsala glacier in Southern Patagonia. Visual complexity greets me in the badlands of South Dakota, on a road to Canyon de Chelly or a on bridge crossing a gorge in New Mexico. Wind, rain, humans, animals, as well as the shadows of ridges all make their mark on and in the land.
