Everest |

In these photographic pages I am trying to mix present work with work I am making now. Yesterday at Malaspina (and this is relative as tomorrow yesterday will no longer be that) I began printing the pictures I took last year.

This series of photographs were taken while walking to the foot of Mount Everest. The pictures are influenced by the act, the experience, of walking past the most remarkable vista’s in the world. They are driven by a combination of awe for the immensity of the towering structures that surround one on the trek, and fascination for the tiniest of details that comprise these landscapes.

Glaciers are aesthetically charged in particular as massive ice structures made up of endless folds and layers and even more particularly their movement tears away an infinite number of stones and rocks that in turn cover and surround and replace the glaciers movement. These pictures are a representation of the monumental and minuscule.

All though these are not all the pictures from trip they represent different phases of the overall experience. From the trees, greenery, and rushing water below Namche, to the ever-present image of Ama Dablam that contorts itself in ever changing positions as you walk around her, to the glacier fields under Lohtse, and finally peaks at Everest herself.
