An ambiguous relationship exists between the land and skies of Kansas. Sixty-five million years ago the Permian Seas covered most of the Midwest. As they receded, the Flint Hills of Kansas were formed taking on the collective shape of an ocean, undulating and swelling, as if pulled into place by the gravity that shapes us all, or by a memory. The once great waters of this land now lie above us in dramatic cloud formations.

There are moments when the land is still and the sky in movement, when clouds seem to mimic the forms below, as if learning a new dialect in order to reconnect and recreate what was once whole. I believe this interplay in the landscape is analogous to human memory and its push/pull back towards its own beginning and into its future.
