22 Apr
Summary
- Photographer Jon McCormack documents nature's hidden geometry.
- Climate change accelerates the pace of natural system shifts.
- McCormack's book highlights beauty and urgency of Earth's changes.
Photographer Jon McCormack has spent years documenting the intricate geometry of Earth's natural systems, from Icelandic ice caves to Kenyan lakes. He observes that these systems are now changing faster than he can capture them, largely due to climate change-fueled extreme weather.
His new book, 'Patterns: Art of the Natural World,' released on Earth Day 2026, aims to convey both the beauty and the pressing urgency of these transformations. McCormack highlights that natural environments are not random but structured and interconnected, reacting significantly when one system shifts.
