One on my recent projects, “Big Sky” is now on the gallery section of the website. View it here.
There are places where the trees are sparce, the cities become scattered and the sky revealed. The heavens, vaster than my imagination can hold, rests on broad shoulders of earth and stone. I am no longer at the center.
Most of these images are from the two month Camper Van Chuck road trip. There was a certain kind of pleasure in making images of broad landscapes, which I otherwise generally avoid. I avoid them because I want my images to have a bit of intimacy, a perspective that delves deeper than a flitting glimpse of a wide vista.
But, how could I ignore those luscious far reaching skies? So, I go where the spirit leads. Or the gut as it may be, although I don’t think indigestion played a part.
You can see several of these images this Friday as part of the Open Studio walks. Come by and have a chat:
