Artist’s Statement:
Across the immense amphitheater of Bryce Canyon, thousands of stone towers rise, their jagged summits forming an extraordinary landscape expressive of ancient castles, battlements, and ancient walls.
The sepia treatment lends the other worldly landscape. Warm highlights illuminate the weathered pinnacles, while deep brown shadows settle into the narrow passages between them. The subdued palette draws attention to the extraordinary textures and sculptural forms of the stone, creating a sense of age and mystery.
The image suggests a landscape outside ordinary time: a kingdom of stone formed before time, by wind and water, where every tower and ravine carries the mark of slow transformation. It is a dreamlike place, where time lives in the shadows.
Summary:

Thousands of intricately sculpted stone towers rise from steep canyon slopes, creating a remarkable landscape of natural castles, battlements, and pinnacles. The warm antique photographic treatment emphasizes the weathered textures, geological architecture, and enduring mystery of this extraordinary Southwestern wilderness.
