ETHER (2006 - 2013)

One of the prime motivators for this series lies in the depiction and interpretation of vast, seemingly boundless space. When space becomes the motivating concept, the image moves through a distillation process where only the most primitive elements remain; earth, sea, sky. The delineation of these elements by that universal separator – the horizon, creates a graphic strong point which also interests me.

Long exposures allow the viewer to appreciate the trajectories of the most elemental entities such as clouds, waves and stars. Many of these images include a single sharply defined detail; the horizon – the all important line where the limits of physical vision give way to more mindful type of vision.

All image were shot on either 4×5" of 8x10” film and processed by hand.
