The black and white photographs, of fern buds or fiddleheads and other sprouting spring botanicals, are literally and figuratively dark. These creatures have always seemed to have personalities to me. I've used lighting and my sense of composition to emphasize their similarities to human bodies and faces. They seem to be archetypes of creatures that dwell somewhere my mind. I've tried to capture their glowing forms and hope they resonate with you.

The color images are part of my exploration of erosional forms. This has been a dive into the world of interstitiality... a place of in-betweenness, between light and darkness, rooted in this world but not entirely of it. The plastic I use to make these images is soil in transition. These are from Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Certain landscapes speak to me and I previsualise the finished photographs in my mind as I make the image. I feel as though I've turned over a rock and found something there ambiguous in nature, maybe disturbing but beautiful.
