The Impression Series | Yosemite National Park, California
As the name suggests, my “Impressions Series” features abstract exposures that explore the endless play of light and water. In the spirit of the Impressionists, I strive to find my own path within this dynamic vein of artistic expression – to create a body of work that both reflects tribute humbly and yet refracts forward unapologetically. When done right, this is the series that seems the most like magic. Here, viewers discover elusive, fleeting, yet familiar and overlooked perspectives. Moments from nature hiding in plain sight in the single most abundant substance on our planet, unlocked via an obsession with nuance, light, and emotion.
El Capitan–a towering 3000-feet rock wall that was once considered unclimbable–is seen here reflecting in the Merced River. In this inverse and abstract depiction, the mighty vertical rise of rock is rendered less obvious. By deemphasizing El Capitan’s indomitable presence, the viewer is free to absorb the hidden grandeur of Yosemite–the graceful and yet subtle colors of the rock itself. Nonetheless, the cliff’s towering presence is still evident via the deep shadows cast down by the rock overhangs above. These appear as the perfect black accents for the abstract El Capitan. The title “Inverse” is not only a reference to the up-ended orientation of reflection, but also to finding a powerful truth where one would not expect. In my work, I strive to go beyond the apparent, to create images that also highlight the beauty, grace, and substances that are often less apparent.
