This photographic project began during a residency in Halsnoy, an island in Norway.

Moving through landscapes lit by a ever changing sky, Nature, itself, catches hold of me in a forest that opens like a window unto the sea. Not a sea that sparkles in the sunlight, but rather one stretching into the fog, smothering the islands like ghosts.

I wander through the day. I contemplate this nature. I breathe it. I cup fleeting emotions.

I choose trees as my protagonists and as my closest companions.

I hover between the breath of the dense, humid forest and the whisper of the waves crashing gently on rocky beaches.

This series is an interactive amalgam of photography and land art.

I photograph seascapes after incorporating branches and tree trunks that I find on the beaches.

Resetting to the vertical tree trunks polished clean by water initiates an new invented reality. In the foreground, fallen trees are positioned within a lonely, silent landscape. These are fleeting images. The water will wash them away.

The images lose their original meanings and provide the raw material for a whole new imagining, a reinvented landscape created by trees that I insert into reality.
