Reimagining Nature is a digital photography collage project building wholly new imagery using objects from nature. The results are at once familiar and strikingly unfamiliar. Of the earth yet other worldly. The images are bold, sensual and effervescent with light and color. And always there is a strong sense of the atmospheric. I play with the relationships between the natural forms, in all of their stages and imperfections. It is an exploration of the natural world.
The images are on a large scale of approximately 30"x30". The final images lend themselves to both near and far observations.
