Description

The Grand Canyon, one of America’s oldest National Parks, is an awesome sight. I first encountered this unimaginable landscape 52 years ago; each subsequent visit to the park was met with suprise, something different at which to marvel. It is impossible to photograph the park as a whole, rather, one must look at each new revelation and photograph each new understanding as best as possible with limited tools and technique. This series reveals to a viewer ways in which I saw the park in April, 2017, a current visual understanding of this magnificent place.

Here the layers of time as sculpted by the Colorado River and volcanic rupture of the land reveal a past seen in geological time; not in human time. This is an intricate landscape, one that defies one’s experience yet one that provides evidence of four billion or so years of change; evidence that is difficult, if not impossible, to dismiss out of hand. From the rim the evidence is made quite clear in the layers of bright color, one atop the other, suggesting a layer cake. The river, often hidden, signals but a further, monotonous drive to uncover more in the future. To my mind, the Grand Canyon is one of those wonderous places to visit where one stands in awe of the power of nature and the universe to teach us about ourselves and our own emergence.
