\nWherever I go I explore the world visually with a camera. Sometimes this is during a walk.\u00a0Sometimes this is during a workshop. Other times it’s while I’m making a body of work. You might think it distracting to think about one thing while you’re doing another but I find that working on two different ideas at the same time often leads to a fertile cross-pollination. I find new ideas this way.
\nOf course, you’ve got to stay flexible. Recently, while I was leading a photography workshop in Maine’s Acadia National Park I went looking for the cairns so many visitors leave behind. I don’t like them in public lands,\u00a0because when I go there I want to be able to experience the land uninterpreted.\u00a0Still, I appreciate the playful contact people have with the land when they make cairns. So to work on\u00a0my ambivalence I started\u00a0making art out of\u00a0the cairns. But this time, they weren’t there. I was pleasantly surprised and a little disappointed, which also surprised me. So I started to make my own cairns to photograph, intending to scatter them before I left, and never got to it because the first two stones I picked up were all I needed that day. The relationships between them and their environment were much richer than I expected. It felt like arranging still lifes, which I did for hours \u2013 and I’m sure I’ll do it again.
