Antarctica haunts my dreams. My photomontages are dreams come true and Antarctica has become a part of every series – Reflection, Resonance, Revelation and all of the others. Dreams show us things we need to understand in another way or on another level. Dreams help us maintain a healthy psychic balance between the conscious and the unconscious. When we dream we make ourselves whole again. How do I understand a dream? First, I turn to readings in psychology. There it is. A language for the soul. Association, projection, transference, deflection, repression, sublimation, incubation, gestation, dependence, codependence, individuation, integration … and they’re not just...

How artist’s get there is just as important as where they arrive. This is the creative process rather than the creative product. People have always been unusually curious about how I make my work. In part, this is because I work with new technologies and the many creative possibilities they open. And in part, this is because I work with many media simultaneously; photography, drawing, sculpture, writing, music. Why do I do so many things? Curiosity.

It was my primary medium until digital photography enabled me to render images in my...

Throughout human history, including in the western psychological...

So when we gaze at the heavens we see where we came from and what we were, where we are going and what we will be. When we gaze at the land we see where and what we are now. In contemplating both we embrace an expanded view of our place in the universe and ourselves. Things are usually much richer and more complicated than they seem at first...
