Triangle Space Perspective Connections
Remembering the shapes and space in the Sun Flame photos, while thinking about mutiple triangles related to perspective construction from walking the path at Wentworth Conservation Area. What is becoming clear is an interest in the optical trajectories, appearing while walking and observing the landscape. This geometry is in contradistinction to the emotional experience and excitement accompany this awareness.
Interaction of forces revealing unexpected geometries.

Pileated Evidence—Fort River 02.17.2018
. . .
I came across evidence of recent Pileated Woodpecker activity. After returning to the studio I realized these photographs reveal a simple number sequence of one then two holes. I find a strange satisfaction in contemplating simple numbers.
