For the past number of years I have been exploring in my photography these two symbols creating them in sand in flame in water in time. Each time I learn a little more about the space I am in both emotionally internal to my experiences and physically external to my environment. This series is as much about the exploration of my spiritual reality as it is about an appreciation of form shape and design. The Circle and the spiral are the driving forces in the work of Stu Jenks. In the artist’s own words, these two powerful forms symbolize respectively The representation of everything from festive pinwheels to the internal journey of the soul and A movement down into despair a motion up into joy…a continuing sense of union. His photography here explores these concepts within the context of the stunning Arizona landscape.
