Description
"Rock of Ages" is a series of photographs depicting the Precambrian Shield with interpretive form. The Shield is 4 billion years old. The rock has been scraped clean of ancient mountain ranges by glaciers, and liquefied by forces of extinct volcanoes and tectonic pressures. Time and weather has revealed patterns and shapes in the seemingly desolate bedrock -- a testimony to the earth’s antiquity. This rock’s surface is engraved with the wrinkles and scars of permanence that are a result of powerful forces of energy from within the earth.
In this series of concepts, I have attempted to create form with my perceptions of the rock while characterizing the antiquity of our earth. Mythological creatures, ancient structures, symbolic animals and primeval human forms with some earthy recognition immediately emerge from these images.
The symmetry created by mirroring the original abstracts seems to connect with our subconscious need for order in the chaos of nature. The process introduces us to a realm of mindfulness where the analytical mind becomes hampered and the playful imagination awakens. Viewers of these images glimpse the earth’s antiquity and are invited to reflect on its--and on our--future. The earth is permanent and will always exist, long after its current inhabitants have long disappeared.
