Nine triptychs; nine personal worlds; nine ways of seeing.
In landscape photography, place is interior. The photographer achieves a visual realization of his or her feelings for the world, of how they live their life. Their images are in fact a reflection of their inner world. The form is not narrative; rather, it presents the viewer with the vertical time of the image, just as a reader is led into the world of a poem by the sound of the words.
There is no narrative, then, but meaning: meaning beyond logical implication. Like meaning, beauty can also be approached only as an experience. As a recognition of an interior landscape. This is true both for the artist and the viewer. For centuries, humanity has known that the organ of wisdom is the heart. It is with the heart that we approach both the image and the myth. Both are vehicles of truth, beauty, the essence of existence. And both resist interpretation. They occur as an encounter, as an emotion.
Nine inner landscapes, nine encounters, nine emotions.
