Our world is being shaken by a confusion of the seasons: "Winter Follows Spring" combines photography, illustration and computer manipulation to express the fragile beauty of nature even as nature is being stressed by human disturbances. Rather than moving from spring to summer to fall, the new green foliage is pulled from its host by a crisp, cold wind. On a formal level, I am fascinated by the patterns generated by chance layering of images of decay and renewal.
