These photographs were made in wild locations all over the US, after the sun goes down, using my friends and family members not only as models but as assistants. Though I consider these images to be tied thematically to ideas about unnatural man in natural environments, in varying narratives about the struggle for meaning and placement, I still believe they are portraits of people in their own irresolvable states. I have named this series Hierophanies in reference to the term coined by Mircea Eliade to identify the breaks in the fabric of profane time-bound existence that allow glimpses at the sacred time-unbound existence behind it.
