My works from 2009-2013.
My work investigates thresholds within the natural world — moments where form is reduced to structure and time becomes visible. I am drawn to aftermath, reflection, erosion, and the tension between presence and absence. Working primarily with landscape and elemental phenomena, I explore how light, water, and organic residue shape perception.
Rather than depicting nature as spectacle, I approach it as a field of quiet transformation. Burned trees become skeletal drawings against the sky. Shorelines dissolve into intervals of horizon and breath. Surface reflections destabilize what is solid and what is seen. Through restraint and reduction, I seek a clarity that borders on abstraction while remaining anchored in observation.
These images are not documents of place but studies of condition — meditations on fragility, endurance, and the subtle architectures that persist after disturbance. In attending to these thresholds, the work asks how we inhabit environments marked by change.
My Approach
My work emerges from repeated passage through specific landscapes, the forests surrounding Aarhus, Denmark, and the terrain of Angeles National Forest in California. By walking and driving the same routes over time, I engage in a durational study of place, allowing familiarity to alter perception.
Rather than seeking dramatic views, I attend to incremental change: the residue of fire, the tension of surface reflection, the weight of light across branches, the horizon dissolving into atmosphere. Through repetition, the landscape shifts from backdrop to structure — a field of thresholds where presence and absence coexist.
These images are not about spectacle or nostalgia. They arise from sustained attention and a process of orientation within environments that are both lived and observed. In returning again and again, I trace how attachment forms through perception — and how place becomes legible through time.
