Biografia
Although seemingly half a century out of date, the ideas of the mountain film and hiemat still reverberate today and are more relevant than ever. This new body of work I have commenced can be compared within such a context. In our urbanized society populations continue to be dismembered. Traditional ways of life and cultural values continue to be lost forever all over the world. Their-for a new generation is finding pleasure and solace in such cinematic images of romance and cozy escapism in to the wild. As a mountaineer myself, I prescribe whole heartily to the restorative effects of loosing ones self in the sublime expanses of natures lofty peaks.
Once more out-door clean living has been rediscovered, and I have chosen to blatantly glorify this in my melodramatic pictures and sweeping romance vistas. The work is in part, imagined lost scenes from such films, where due to the lapse of time, people fade in and out of existence but the forest remains. This transience of being reflects my own experience of nature where ones self existence is not permanent and can be lost without any warning.
