Project One: On the Water
Where does the river go? What is around the next bend in the stream? Explorers want to know.
I have explored the rivers and lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin since 2008. I feel at one with the water, sun, and breeze with eagles overhead and herons, ducks and geese on the water, and the fish below the surface. The themes in this body of work are deeply personal to me, and I hope that they resonate with you as well.
