Dreaming of Llamas. Web Site Update.

I recently updated my website to include some images from my new project At Play. The subtitle for the project, Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness, comes from the Japanese author Kenzoburo Oe.

Nietzsche wrote “maturity consists in having found once again the seriousness one has as a child at play.” His quote has stuck with me for over 20 years. Now that I have children, Nietzsche’s quote feels even more poignant, as I observe and participate with play in my own children’s life. At Play is a celebration of the imaginative world of childhood. The series also places the context of nature at the forefront of consciousness.
