The Beauty of Impermanence | Bret Culp
By Bret Culp
bret
A book of haunting and poetic fine art black and white landscape photographs from Italy, Ireland, Canada, the United States, and around the world that focus on themes of resilience, reclamation, and renewal while revealing the beauty of impermanence. Also included is a fitting collection of quotations, proverbs and poetry ranging from the transient to the transcendental.
In addition to brand new work, many of the photographs in the book can be found at www.bretculp.com.
"Roots creep over rock searching for refuge and nourishment, neglected bricks and mortar crumble under the elements and return to the earth, a mountain is slowly devoured by the sea forming a precipice – these are photographs of matter governed by time chosen to illustrate the relentless determination of nature, the eternal cycle of creation out of destruction, and the beauty of impermanence." -Bret Culp
