2017.\u00a0This selection doesn\u2019t reflect sales, publication, or activities on the web.

Click on the titles to find out more about each image.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Geography<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The locations include Antarctica, New Zealand, Valley Of Fire, Joshua Tree, Obsidian Dome, Death Valley, and Maine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Process<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">2017 marks the first year where I produced series of finished works (rather than sketches) with my iPhone, sometimes on location seconds after making exposures. While chasing one series Land In Land (combining macro abstract details\u00a0with the larger landscapes they were drawn from) another series emerged Interference (combining wave patterns found in dunes into even more complex abstractions). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Concepts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">I intensified my efforts to create flatter horizonless abstractions with strong emotionally expressive qualities. Drawn elements successfully found their ways into many of them. The qualities of earth art are even more strongly felt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Magic Moment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There were truly sublime moments in Antarctica, especially during a few crystal clear days. Still, there were so many moments where I felt deeply moved by and connected to all of these landscapes, and that transformative energy is the true magic. The magic happens inside. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It was a very productive year; more than 75 new works released; more than 150 new studies made; and my first serious forays into making related sculptures. (Stay tuned.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s challenging to choose so few images from so many \u2013 but it\u2019s insightful. Try selecting your own top 12 images.
