Still Time

‘Still Time’ consists of photographs of brownfields: contaminated or abandoned land areas that must undergo environmental clean up before they can be used again. I am driven to find whatever signs of the natural environment are left at these sites and include them in my photographs. I look at maps that indicate where brownfields, oil spills, solid waste facilities, and other potentially toxic sites are located to guide my forays. I call the project ‘Still Time’ because I want to inject stillness and a greater sense of space and possibility into these areas. Perhaps there is still time for these places to be vibrant. To borrow from C.G. Jung, I want to uncover the 'potentiality of life which has been overgrown by civilization'.
