textured stone – Greg Urbano

Jennie Parks – Natural Fort

A figure clad in a flowing patterned dress rests horizontally between towering, sun-bleached stone masses, creating a striking juxtaposition of organic human form against rugged geology. The deep, shadowy fissure below anchors the composition in verticality, while the weathered, graffiti-marked textures of the rock face offer a complex, tactile counterpoint to the smoothness of bare skin. This precarious balance evokes a quiet tension, as the subject appears simultaneously vulnerable and buoyant within the tight, monumental cleft.

Boulder Creek Long Exposure

A cascading stream is transformed into a silken, milky veil, its motion rendered ethereal as it pours over jagged, earth-toned boulders. The composition creates a dynamic tension between the soft, blurred fluidity of the water and the stark, angular solidity of the rocks, while deep shadows in the crevices enhance the rich textural contrast. This interplay of movement and immobility evokes a meditative stillness, celebrating the quiet, unyielding power of the natural world.
