Artist Statement:
I have had a lifelong interest
in perception, reality and the
human mind's compulsion to
find patterns and derive
meaning in the world around
us. This interest has lately
expressed itself in an ongoing
series of mountain streambed
photographs, collected mainly
during hikes into the nearby
Gila National Forest in New
Mexico and the Coronado
National Forest in
southeastern Arizona.
Creeks and streams turn out to
be an excellent starting place
for thinking about the way
that seemingly random
arrangements of stimuli can be
perceived as non-random and
meaningful by the human mind.
Standing creekside in the
forest with my camera hanging
out over the flow, I am often
distracted by what sounds like
distant voices or snatches of
music. But inevitably, it is
only the sound of water that
I'm hearing as it falls along
the rocks further up or down
the creek.
Of course, we hear the brook
babbling or singing because
the mind wants and needs to
recognize things it knows. And
so it takes what is available,
in this case, the stream of
notes and tones created by the
flowing water, finds audio
shapes it seems to know and
thrusts it upon our ...
