Mediation and digitized wonders have forever change our relationship with nature. Nature is
still revered, but raw nature no longer dazzles. Box Set is a private and purer experience of
nature: no cars, no planes overhead or personal craft, no blaring music, lawn mowers or noisy
neighbors. Choose your season, turn the box on and you have indoor nature at your own leisure,
and no bugs, poison ivy or weather concerns.  

The Box: handcrafted hardwood box, sliding drawers housing DVDs (one for 4-Seasons, and one each for
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter).

The Book: "Brushed" references fashion and nature photography and the prevailing practice of digitally
enhancing images even when their purpose is to document reality.

The Video: "4-Seasons" is 15 min long, each season is 3-4 min and loops.

The Prints: Images in the book "Brushed" are available in sizes 16" X 24" and 22" X 33".
