Stones from the Sky
September 13, 2008 - March 1, 2009
The science of geology chronicles Earth’s ongoing evolution. As every geologist knows, landscapes can be both beautiful and baffling. A view from the sky offers a broader perspective—canyons beyond granite peaks seamlessly stitched into wider valleys, oxbows left behind as rivers change course, and land sculpted by glaciers. A sense of time is the geologist's best hand lens, the open window of a small airplane his ideal perch.
Michael Collier has been photographing from the air since 1975. He has written and photographed books about various national parks, climate change, Alaskan glaciers, the downstream effects of dams, and the San Andreas Fault. Stones From The Sky is Michael Collier’s collection of 45 prints that highlight American geologic landscapes. This special exhibition is free with Museum admission and is located on the Museum’s lower level.
