Several years ago, Oak Creek went on a rampage. When its flood ebbed, evidence of its power was left upon the land. I interpret the force of nature with this portrait of devastation. A tangle of fallen trees and stripped logs sprawl in the midst of massive boulders dislodged by the flood. What is normally seen upright is now prone. What we might regard as immovable, has been moved. The diagonal logs suggest the force of the flood as we move upwards through the layers of this image. We see small stones, the trio of ravaged logs, great boulders, a mass of broken branches, and finally a bit of the creek peeking through the twigs. This image is a naturescape, an interpretation of an event that is past -- yet its effect will be felt in this canyon for years to come.
