Snowfall #6

ARTIST STATEMENT

These images are from the beginning of my new project, A Field Guide to Snow and Ice.

I moved from San Francisco to Minneapolis several years ago. After spending the first winters holed up and in denial of the fact that I now lived in what felt like an arctic tundra, I decided to brave the elements and explore the snowy landscape.

Not one to jump right into things, I began by making snowflake photograms in the safety of the summer months. Later, I ventured outdoors to capture the first snowfall of the season. The results are these snowfall diptychs: on one side, a snowflake (OK, a pressed specimen of the abundant wildflower Queen Anne’s Lace) and on the other a snowfall at night (which also nicely references the cosmos, turning the snowflake on the left into a starburst). With this series, I am interested in constantly reinterpreting natural forms with reference to multiple ideas on both a micro and macro level.
