Land Unfolding
2017-Present
Land Unfolding examines the natural environment and the ways in which a photograph can function to represent place. The dichotomy of artificial and natural environments is explored through using photographs I made in real landscapes to construct new, illusive vistas and forms.
The landscape collages are created through a process of deconstructing a photograph to reconstruct another. The floating landscapes forms are made from the deconstructed remains of the collages. The way in which these forms float in space portray a sense of loss, void, and skewed reality. The processes of deconstruction and reconstruction I employ speaks to our continually changing landscape as well as our attempt to preserve and piece it back together.
