These are photographic observation of gravel piles. I find it fascinating that nature persists in creating beautiful forms from man's attempt to re-create the environment.

Several of these works were shown as part of the Rocky Mountain Biennial at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Fort Collins, Colorado. The show ran from May 30 through August 19, 2006.
