“Genesis”

Description:
Photographed from Laurance Lake Drive on Mount Hood’s northern slope, this scene shows the Eliot Glacier–fed stream winding through a boulder field toward Oregon’s tallest volcanic peak. Named by Lieutenant William Broughton in 1792 for Admiral Samuel Hood, Mount Hood remains one of the state’s most iconic and accessible Cascade volcanoes.

Story:
The Eliot Branch begins as meltwater high on Mount Hood, carving its way down through ash, stone, and memory. Standing along Laurence Lake Road, I watched the stream twist through the scarred valley like a vein of light, a reminder that creation often begins in destruction.

I named this artwork “Genesis” because it reminds me that beginnings rarely look gentle. Creation is rough-edged and takes time, born from the same forces that quickly destroy.
