Selected images from my 2019 exhibit invisible present. The invisible present manifests itself in photographs of the deeply relevant, yet little seen site dedicated to ecology science known as Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. The invisible present defines the landscape I create, one situated between future catastrophe and romanticized past, that attempts to communicate the unknowable dimensions of ecology. Among Cedar Creek’s significant achievements, foremost is the site’s genesis of modern ecological theory. My work, here, gave image to the vernacular, human landscape defined by its isolation, unique purpose and the mysterious apparatus of experimentation covering much of its nine square miles. Walking the burnt savannas, experiencing the unexpected, indecipherable structures in meadows or forests induced a sense of the occult. The resulting imagery suggests the enchantment of special places, of which Cedar Creek has become a contemporary example.
