As long as nature is seen as in some way outside us, it is lost both to us and in us.
- John Fowles
Or: FICTION DIED SOON
Or: In the beginning everything belonged to us all. Any land anywhere. I know what I miss. I know why they took it from us. Still, I am in the beginning. Still, I am everything. And I am horrified. A wreck. A loser. A one bird hand flapping inbetween.
- So you were here?
- Just as I passed. It´s about exploring.
- But you were here.
- I never arrived. There was a pause.
- Is that what you photograph? Those pauses?
- Yes. I want one picture. A picture like an axe. Driven right through the skull of all our overexploit-orientated civilization. I want to be blind. I want everybody to be blind. It makes it more likely that one day we will see.
- How can a picture of a... a pause, possibly be an axe?
- The axe head went deep into the soil.

"Of the scant handful of genius, of actual working artists; Coyhand alone scoops up intense and compact miracles of the pause, those of the found, organic, unmanufactured world."

iBrigs says:
"Coyhand’s landscapes are not just ordinary landscapes. His work goes deeper, with their narratives evoking a plethora of emotions from feeling safe and comforted to eerily helplessness.
To me personally, his approach to the subject of nature emphasises what I feel when engaging with nature; the need to be part of nature appreciating its beauty. At the same time having that feeling of being not quite at ease with it either, being aware of its underlying unpredictability and therefore giving it a force that we as humans should never underestimate.
His body of work is one of the few streams I come back to all the time, it puts things into perspective for me."13th June, 2011
