About the Item

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 games – maybe it was about The Force Unleashed. I asked my friend if he played it. He answered wryly, “I’d rather look at clouds.”
