About the Item

I have spent seven years photographing visual clues that tell of the beauty, complexity and destruction of South Louisiana. Once formed by sediment deposited by the Mississippi River, this place is now rapidly eroding. Over the past eighty years, the Louisiana coast has lost 2,000 square miles of wetlands in its transition back to open water. When I first saw from a commercial airline flight how surreal and beautiful South Louisiana is from above, it occurred to me to try to tell the story of this changing landscape in a new way with aerial photographs. In my photographs, one can make out varieties of plants, see the weather and seasonal changes - from the shifting high-water line, color temperature, and softness of light, to what is in bloom, and distinguish living cypress trees from those that have been killed by saltwater intrusion, or see the patterns made by wave energy on barrier island beaches. This intimate view of Louisiana from a birds-eye perspective prompts me – and I hope, others – to see and understand its landscape in new ways and to re-examine my relationship to the environment that surrounds me.

    I'D RATHER LOOK AT CLOUDS "…Here we go alone and like it better so...Now lying recumbent…this incessant making up of shapes and casting them down…this incessant ringing up and down of curtains of light and shade, this interminable experiment with gold shafts and blue shadows, with viewing the sun and unveiling it, with making rock ramparts and wafting them away – this endless activity…One should not let this gigantic cinema [of clouds] play perpetually to an empty house…" Virginia Woolf On Being Ill This series began from my bed photographing clouds tripping along the horizon of the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, home to Los Alamos National Laboratory. I had just moved to my small studio perched high that I’d cobbled together over several years. My casual cloud gazing immediately became part of a pain-lessening arsenal - and how lucky for me living in an amphitheatre with an unexpected generous subject – a nearly 24-hour a day theater. The title of this series comes from an exchange with a friend about war...
