One Cow, Thirteen Hay Bales, Iceland

Artist Statement

My work encompasses a range of styles. As my vision has evolved over many years, I have retained many threads as I have explored new ones. I'm still printing traditional landscape photos from film in the 1980s, but some of my new work is quite different. In the last decade I've added vintage lenses adapted to modern cameras and explored the way these lenses draw, and worked with the way beautiful blur mixes with paper textures of watercolor, etching, japanese, and natural papers. I also print on a Baryta paper that looks like old time fiber based darkroom paper where that's the best choice.

In recent years, especially since Covid lockdown, my work has evolved in some ways. During that period I felt a need for beauty; I wanted an endorphin hit from a beautiful image.
