AKING DREAMS OCCUR DURING PERIODS WHEN ONE IS NEITHER
FULLY AWAKE NOR FULLY ASLEEP. During this time our minds can produce
sometimes surprisingly vivid tableaus comprised of rearranged fragments of unre-
lated memories. It is this sense of rearranged reality that my composite photographs are meant
to express. Because of my interest in Yellowstone and its environs, much of my work focuses
on that setting, within which I recontextualize bits and pieces of photographic memories from
my experiences elsewhere to form surreal combinations. One sub-theme of this work involves
imagining how master painters would react to the Yellowstone environment, creating what
I call simply "e Masters in Yellowstone."
