One, a fragile new life, blossoming for a short time before returning to the earth. The other, solid rock that weathers storms, grows forests, and serves as a foundation for life of many different kinds. The two extremes of the life cycle are put on display in this exhibition which features both fleeting flowers and enduring mountainscapes.

The collection captures the circular nature of life and existence on our planet. A flower blooms, and dies in a small space of time, a beautiful example of the eternal circle. The rocky slopes, a long-established contour of our landscape have their own rhythm. Rivers erode, plates move, landscapes slowly change, and everything takes part in its own cycle of renewal.

Through my lens I see beauty in both: the fleeting and the abiding, both participating in the circle of life but at very different paces.

In flowers I see blooming which represents growth, of character, and a brief but breathtaking existence. In the mountains there is longevity and a strong foundation. I see the face of my father in my shots of the Remarkable’s, even after his passing, his image and his influence endures.
