Beyond Boundaries

After years of exposure to antique tribal & Asian art created by the indigenous peoples from around the world, I set out one day with my camera on a curious hunt. I wanted to see if I could capture the essence of this indigenous work using the earth's surface of rock|stone as my canvas in consideration of its rich religious and cultural history. I began my first trek in the unique forty six mile chain of volcanic peaks and ridges of the Santa Monica mountain range, noted to be from 12 to 200 million years old. This is a gloriously ancient mountain range that geologists say has disappeared into the sea and reemerged again on more than one occasion. Over time, I have indeed found many haunting and powerful ancient images all over this beautiful earth that we live on.
