MartinS o l e i l  L e v a n t : Z a b r i s k i e  P o i n tI h e  landscape like a skein unwinding, or a litter of piglets pushing at pink teats — this hyperbole not equal to the actual grandeur— meanwhile each m om ent, a transient sun is making it new.You know M onet was right: no thing exists bu t that the light engenders it; nothing stays solid as the light liquefies.O r  put it this way: m om ent is movement; not sunrise, bu t sun rising.You dart about, camera and eye responding to it all, a compass needle obeying the pull o f  iron. But even what you th ink is your will is a current t rum ping  the self, a tropism bending you.94
