Shelter, Shack, Sanctuary

The images in this collection are from an ongoing series that focuses on constructions of human habitation. I am especially drawn to simple structures made with natural or indigenous materials and that suggest something of the life and times of the people who erected them.

Both the driftwood lean-to that washes away at the next high tide and the 4000 year-old standing stones are evidence of our common human need to physically enclose ourselves. Whether for protection, for privacy, for pleasure, or for prayer, we are compelled to build structures to house our bodies, minds, and spirits. In my travels over the past 10 years I have been photographing such dwellings – cottages, cabins, churches, huts, shelters, and shacks – as I recognize in them this shared aspect of our humanity.

An edition of this series has recently been purchased by the Bank of America for exhibit in their new world headquarters in New York.
