Road Cuts are an ongoing series of large-scale landscapes. They are a personal view of the Berkshires and Green Mountains from the perspective of my interest in examining the challenge of seeing and the layers of time.
The pictures are digital photo-collages, created in the computer. Five separate frames are put together with the goal of creating a coherent composition, not an attempt to mimic reality.
My response to the landscape focuses on the intangibles that surround it: light, air, gravity and time. The road is both the time line and, in the extreme foreground, the horizon line, exposing a geology receding into the past and future. My goal is to create images with a transcendent sense of place: alienated from any particular time but immersed in its essence.
