My landscape work started as visual journal, a record of the path I continuously return to.
I see the landscape metaphorically, as a reflection of my own psychological and spiritual state of mind.
At times my images are pure meditations of serene places that resonate with the tranquility of nature.

Yet often I am drawn down the darkest, most foreboding paths
- lured by nature’s mysterious veil.

I have been working with this visual journal for over twenty years.

It has evolved over time- as everything does. However, there are strong archetypal elements throughout this body of work that have remained constant - such as the eternal path, the transcendence of a window, a door which marks an archetypal passage.
I never try to answer the question of what lies beyond these portals for that would be beyond the field of time and photography by it’s own nature exists within the field of time.

I strive to create images that transcend the literal landscape and make visible a separate world, one, which is in itself another world.
I am very drawn to images that express an archetypal idea, or even contain an archetypal element within it
– images that awaken us to a collective sensory experience that is familiar on a non-verbal level, which is of course the spiritual and soul level.
