In Time: Images of Plum Island

February 3, 2000 - March 22, 2000

Curated by Michelle Fiorenza


Time cycles, the currents of our earth, the rhythms of the sea, sing to my heart. In the blazing sun of summer and the full-mooned frosted nights of winter feelings of peace and belonging arise in me as nature unfolds hear way. Being at one with the forces, the powers of nature and my own demanding passions, all comes to bear in my desire to express the mystery and inevitability of what appears before me. Through my camera's eye I feel and interpret this world.
From my home on Plum Island I witness the changing seasons, weather patterns, moon risings, sunsets, the infinitely varied and instantaneously fleeting movements of the ocean, as the earth is bound to the power of her tidal cycles.

On those days, at those times when the skies are heavy and gray and winds rush to herald the presence of nor'easter, or in repose when serenity once again lulls the shore, you can find me, with my old Rolleiflex set up on a tripod, waiting for "the moment," the synthesis of my soul with the presence around me.
