Clouds exist in a liminal space, visible but intangible, rendered in infinite variation and scale depending on our location. They are a common thread connecting all continents, plants, animals, and people. Clouds effortlessly move across international borders and boundaries; unfazed by ownership, passports, checkpoints, nationality, international agreements, or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

They are the ultimate shape shifters, concealing and revealing the sun, moon, land, and bodies of water. Weightless, yet they can hold incredible amounts of water, a paradox of the hidden processes of evaporation and condensation. Abstract yet continually coalescing into suggestive forms, clouds invite recognition of something familiar, a dance of transformation and interconnectedness.

Cloud Studies represent an ongoing practice of photographing clouds that began on daily dog walks eight years ago, connecting with and trying to hold onto a present moment that has already changed and transformed from the moment when the image was taken. Layering these moments from different locations, days, and years, and weaving in historic hand-drawn synoptic weather maps, these cumulative observations, layered and reimagined, represent the elusive nature of memory. The gestural mapping of these fleeting experiences forms a visual meditation on connection and impermanence.
