- Biographical Information
- Traveling Closer to Home was done as a companion piece for Armchair Journeys. The images are echoes of the landscapes and colors of my everyday environment. It is more familiar and less forbidding that the alien worlds of moon or Mars, but for all that, no less mysterious. (Gray, 1990)
