When I think of spending time outside with "nature," I think of resting and meditation. Just taking a quiet walk along a path or in an open field is freeing. In the tradition of romantic painters and thinkers nature was sublime, but also a stage for contemplation. In these photographs and constructed images I am exploring nature as a metaphor for reflection and introspection. Pieces of reality are repeatedly reflected and distorted between water and mirrors. These images are further distanced from reality by the deliberate framing of a camera lense and cutting and merging of Photoshop. Nature wears the colors of a spirit in blithe reflection. It is not an agonizing introspection, but a warm and detached 'toska'. These reflections are constructed memories and ponderings that don't really have a purpose and have no end.
