The primordial landscapes of Iceland and Patagonia overwhelm with their sheer scale and volcanic, glacial wildness.  Elemental and untouched, they radiate a fierce, rugged beauty which feels both menacing and enlivening. 

Amidst this unspoiled ancient terrain, I am captivated by the darkness and mystery of these landscapes, and entranced by their unexpected textures and shadows.  Here, the natural world appears both as a sacred space - where beauty offers moments of solace - and as a starkly indifferent universe in which we're left to seek meaning on our own. 

The images venture to reconcile these paradoxes, finding grace in shadow and disquiet in the sublime.
