When one views natural environments, a progression of thought takes place. First, one is in awe, and imagination often becomes the reasoning for how something can occur. This is exemplified by the largest piece, The Old Man’s Thumb. Then one moves on to perceiving the natural scene in more detail, be it through feeling a specific mood (Northern Forest Light), or feeling an impression of time and movement (Moving Chasms). After this transition, the process is concluded when environments are operationally interacted with - often exploitatively (Timber Vistas), (Mountain Tread). This psychological process has supported the historical development of society and been instrumental for the construction and conservation of environments and how they are perceived (Pantheon Rusticus).
