What moves you? What takes your breath away? What transcends the familiar radius of day to day life and connects you with the notion of timelessness and eternity?
We each have our answers to those questions. My answers are ones that I discovered in my early 20s in the peaks and hills and crags and lakes and forests of the Canadian Rockies.
I found in the natural world something that stands in stark contrast to the machinations of the built world — a sense of deep connection, temporal lastingness and, frequently, untainted emotion.
Forest*Light*Ecstasy completes a trio of photography shows which began with my Rock+Sky+Euphoria show in October 2010 and continued with the Waves~Flow~Elation show in September 2012. With all three shows my pieces are comments on the natural world’s ability to stir up and release emotion within us and on the relationship between the external and the internal worlds.
Where Rock+Sky+Euphoria focused on the panoramas of mountain environs and Waves~Flow~Elation centred on bodies of water in the landscape, Forest*Light*Ecstasy explores the fusion of light with the forest world and, again, the internal reactions that fusion prompts.
I hope you see something here that moves you, takes your breath away or is in even a small way transcendent.
