Untitled Document

For the past fifteen or so years virtually all of my work has involved an engagement with the ecology of a given area, and an active collaboration with natural forces including tides, animals, erosion and chance. This series represents photographic documentation of works from a series of site installations constructed on the tidal plain on the Outer Cape (Wellfleet to Provincetown) where I have spent several months a year for the past twenty years.

I have established a kind of intimacy with the landscape that I hope is evident from the work. Most of these works are constructed within a 20 minute walk from the nearest public access point in an area of the Cape Cod National Seashore and only a handful of people see the work in-situ.

The pieces are always intended to be temporal and have a minimal presence. It is an area I walk nearly every day during the warmer months. I think of the work as an effort to create a kind of personal natural history and is as much about the meditative process of walking and looking closely, as it is about making art.
