It all depends on how we look at things,

and not how they are in themselves

This series of projections and re-collections of imaginings emerges from an experiment with the depth of one’s inner field—a vast terrain of the psyche where dreams, memories, and archetypal images reside. When turned inward, the photographer’s shifting lens brings focus from the familiar contours of the exterior world to the uncharted landscapes of imagination. Here, the light that emanates does not merely reveal; it transforms. The ordinary becomes mythopoetic; the unseen transforms into the ever-becoming. In this interplay of conscious reflection and unconscious projection, we are left to ponder: do we photograph what lies before us, or do we project onto the world the landscapes we are still learning to see within ourselves?

 Jean Gebser Society Symposium, October 10-13, Asilomar Conference Center, California

Inspired by the wine concept of Terroir, and my experience moving from Europe to the New World, I am presenting a series of images related to the sense of place. This exhibition explores the emotional and atemporal dimension stemming from a location, the (re)connection with nature and with otherness.

A Journey into the Underworld, McGowan House, Monterey , California

From the Ancient Greek: κατάβασις, κατά “down” and βαίνω “go”. The Katabasis is an archetypal descent of the hero into the underworld. Also, a trip from the interior of a country down to the coast (for example, following a river). The word also applies to the sinking of the sun.

These photographs are on display as part of a collaborative at the McGowan Art Center in Monterey.
