Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another – John Muir

In his first photography exhibition, member of the Evergreen faculty Ken Tabbutt presents a series of recently created photographs that present a poetic and awe-inspiring depiction of the subjects he normally explores through the field of geology. “A photographic image of a landscape is a moment in time; the slow and endless grind of folding, faulting, uplift, weathering, erosion, subsidence, deposition, continue, “ states Tabbutt.  “Everybody sees something different when they look at a landscape; what I see is a product of my life experiences. “

This series of European glacial and volcanic landscapes also include detailed field notes that describe some of the geologic processes

associated with the landscape. Tabbutt focuses on landforms that were generated by on-going geologic processes, most of which occur extremely slowly.
