The images from this series are aerial landscape photographs of American watersheds. My focus is water and the impacts to land use upon it. At low altitude from helicopters and airplanes, I create narrative abstractions . . . documents of point and non-point factors that adversely impact our waters. From this perspective one sees a landscape continuously redefined by development and the forces of nature. With close inspection, the world below is troubled and complex. –Artist statement
