Part of the "Earth Lens" series (001)

Introduction
Nestled deep in the forest near Boulder, "Looking Glass" invites viewers to rediscover the quiet beauty of overlooked natural details. By framing the play of light, texture, and shadow through a 4-foot circular lens, the piece shifts focus to the microcosms of the forest, drawing attention to a small and overlooked waterfall.

Site & Placement
The lens is perched amid a cluster of trees, emphasizing a quiet patch of the forest that often goes unnoticed. Positioned 22 feet from the lens, a carefully placed bench offers a perfect vantage point, guiding visitors to linger, observe, and absorb the layered simplicity of the scene.

Impermanence & Integration
True to the ethos of the Earth Lens series, Looking Glass exists only briefly. Its natural materials—branches, wood, and rock—blend seamlessly into the forest and will eventually be reclaimed by it. The fleeting presence of the lens reflects the transient beauty of life, encouraging viewers to appreciate the details that often escape notice in the rush of time.

Reflection
In its short life, Looking Glass offers a moment of stillness and clarity, a chance to peer into the intimate world of the forest. The work becomes a lens not just for the environment but also for introspection, reminding viewers of the quiet wonders that surround them every day.

Tree branches, walnut tree, tree stub. 5' x 3' [2016]
Part of "The Amalgamation of Natural Entities" Series (001)

Status: Destroyed
Winner: Nature (2 weeks)

Located along the shores of East Boulder Creek, this inaugural piece in the series presents a thought-provoking form: a triangular-shaped void that invites viewers to ponder whether nature can produce a structure of this design. The goal was to combine a mature tree with a cluster of nearby stumps, creating a striking visual contrast. Built in late spring 2016 using locally sourced materials, this earthwork was constructed to explore the relationship between nature and human creation. Unfortunately, the piece was short-lived, succumbing to the harsh effects of a nearby snowstorm just weeks after its completion. This initial prototype serves as a testament to the unforgiving power of nature, underscoring the need for future works in the series to be more resilient and durable.
