  • An adolescent Ring-billed seagull, sporting adult plumage on his torso and wings while juvenile spotted plumage still adorns his head, stands at the shoreline and studies the waves' ebb and flow.  The mirror-like surface of wet sand at the bird's feet displays his reflection.  Occupying a beach that is the border between earth and ocean, the adolescent seagull also inhabits a moment in time that is the threshold between his immaturity and his adulthood.

  • This specimen flower of the sacred datura (Datura wrightii) features a lavender margin edging its white, trumpet-shaped, golden-throated bloom.  Photographed at early sunrise, the fragile flower glows pale blue in indirect light bounced off the stucco walls of my garden where this bush grew.

  • Acoma people built multi-story houses that included a sacred space, or kiva, on the ground floor. When Spanish conquerors attempted to eradicate Puebloan religious beliefs and practices, kivas were hidden behind high walls or transformed into windowless rooms accessible only by ladder.  Straight pine logs used to build ladders had to be hauled from the forested slopes of Mt. Taylor, many miles away.  This ladder's worn rungs, along with a family's firewood piled nearby, testify to its continued use.

  • From the artist's "American Bittersweet" series, this 2nd-generation surface design emerged from repeating and mirroring a digital "tile" cut and copied from a previously completed "Bittersweet" matrix. Trellis filligree and circular motifs still depend on the bittersweet vine's curling, twisting branch and twig structure and berry ornamentation that create the optical illusions of lacy texture and geometric shape. Converting the image to black-and-white prior to tinting it minimized the berries' visual impact and shifted aesthetic attention to the woven vines. Image aspect ratio = 7 x 10 (28"x40" @ 300 dp)i

  • From the artist's "American Bittersweet" series, this surface design emerged from tessellating a hexagon, manually assembled by tessellating a triangular photo segment, and then cutting from that matrix a rectangular digital "tile" that would permit orderly mirroring to produce a 4-side matrix. The bittersweet vine's curling, twisting branch and twig structure and berry ornamentation create the crystaline outlines and laciness of this image's six-pointed snowflake patterns. Converting the image to black-and-white facilitated recoloring it to suggest snow's affinity for blue light. Image size = 27" x 31" @ 300 dpi
