lost creek / Lost Creek examines a dried Mojave Desert creek bed through multiple overlapping monochromatic exposures captured with a custom-built medium format camera. The layered compositions reveal water's ancient passage through stone by building each frame upon the previous one. This technique creates visual documentation of the landscape's accumulated history, showing centuries-old water patterns and erosion marks that are typically invisible to casual observation. The work explores the relationship between human perception and geological time. Rather than freezing single moments, the photographs present fluid sequences that suggest the ongoing motion of natural processes within seemingly static landscapes.
