Many years ago at
Summervail we heard of the YUMA symposium from Neely and Peter – however it took a few too
many years for me to actually get to Yuma – and have been returning as often as possible ever
since.
During my visit this year,
I want to give an update on the Summervail Art Workshop Legacy Project we are
working on: What - are and going …

As a presenter, I will be
talking briefly about where I came from and how I got inspired by the YUMA Art
Symposium and of course the opportunity to present my current aerial
photography. I call the series – the view from
here – Marks on the Land
Cargo
Birch Road
Figure Drawing
Stitch Over Time
I
am interested in the abstract balance between the natural world and man's mark
on the land. Soaring above ground, leaning out of the open side of the
helicopter. Looking toward earth, directing the pilot to spin around, dip the
nose, fly sideways or backwards, and even cut the engines to float downward-all
to capture the right image. With a helicopter and its pilot, it's like doing a
dance – the
higher the flatter the perspective - creating the abstract work is my dream
state.

As a landscape and
ethnographic photographer, I use photography as my primary tool, along with
pioneering trends in new media. Through the art of storytelling, I create
memorable photographs championing environmental awareness.

My introduction to the art
movement, Abstract Expressionism, came while I was a graduate student at the
Rhode Island School of Design in the late 1970s. At that time, I was fortunate
to assist Aaron Siskind – well known for his abstract photographic work exploring the microcosm
of humanity.
