SKY
The sky is the thing that is always above all of the things we think of when we think of where we are.
The sky is so many things: winds and weather systems and clouds and stars and light and dark. It is things we can see, and things we can’t. It is things we can feel and those we cannot.
I photograph the sky, over and over, but photographs feel static and dull while the sky feels alive. The invisible aspects of wind and air cannot be photographed. The sky resists photography.
Maybe it is enough to know that some aspect of daily existence remains ineffable. Maybe it is important to be able to simply look up at the sky and to find wonder again in the expanse above us.
This unbound book is a box of sky: sky in all seasons, weather conditions, and times of day. It’s the sky of Alberta, but it could be many places. There are ____ images. They look like polaroids, but aren’t. But they look like it because I wanted each image to communicate the immediacy of a polaroid, and the uniqueness and tactile physicality of each image, one image shot at a specific moment in time that you can hold in your hands.
