--Robert ParkeHarrison
I love the tone of the images, and the bizarre whimsy that I find in them... and there is something about the portrayal of 'man' ( in suits no less) trying to harness and control the landscapes and elements that are found organically in nature.
There's also a sense of movement in this series that i love...i also love that there is a narrative evident...the images lull me into wanting to deconstruct that story. I'm a sucker for the idea of static images creating/suggestion momentum and movement/story.
What do you think?
