Long, blue shadows on a cold winter day. Needless to say, we have lots of these in Wyoming! This installation was on a rare day when the wind didn’t blow.
After much frustration with my digital camera, I splurged and bought a Fuji X100s. This is one of the first photos I took with this amazing new tool. I love its retro design and the feel of it in my hands. The dials make sense to me since all my photography training was back in the film days on a Canon AE-1, which I still own!
The fading light of a western sunset always stirs my soul.
Growing up in the rural West means that one sees a lot of barbed wire lining roads. It serves a dual purpose – keep the livestock in and trespassers out. Most Westerners have probably torn clothing climbing between the lines, like me. I’ve always had a fascination with the twisted wire.
One of the first ephemeral installations. These were placed while on a hiking trail. Some other hikers approached me at one point and marveled at the interesting things I’d found. One said “It looks like they were placed there!” I told her that they were and that I’m an artist. She looked a little unsure of what to do with that information and hurried off. The encounter made me chuckle!
This is one of the first of my ephemeral installations. I created the objects of leather and copper in my studio.
