The Reconstruction and Restoration Spheres Projects predict catastrophic consequences during this Anthropocene Epoch resulting in drastic changes in our planet's climate, ecosystems, and mass extinctions. I observe the momentum as a continuum of the first grand explosive energy—expanding, rotating, intersecting. The Projects manifest the beginnings of an explosive time and future while embracing the dream vision of an embellished and renewed outcome. The desolate, gray aftermath of raging fires, extreme weather, and catastrophic pandemic events on earth are not envisioned but demonstrate the tumultuous splendor of flowers, insects, birds, and all existence—blended and redistributed. 
Reconstruction and Restoration Spheres proliferate a vision of events much like the moment of cosmic inflation, as space expands on a flat plane, where spheres expand and accelerate energy, rotating, spiking three-dimensional surfaces. Hopeful a portal will open, I observe the momentum as remnants of the first grand explosive energy—expanding, rotating, intersecting.

Touching the Edges of Winter: While photographing the Namekagon River in Northern Wisconsin, I have been inspired by, and immersed in, a rich and extraordinary array of historical, geological, and visual stimuli. Viewing the scenery from afar, I see gliding bald eagles, and blue herons fishing for trout and perch. The small details of textured grasses, smooth river pebbles, leaves and branches add diversity to the experience.
