enfolded
2017-current
The ongoing photographic-based series, Enfolded, employs folding, sculpting and re-photographing to mimic the sheltering concavity of riparian hollows, wetland and woodland. Reveling in the delicate materiality of fine paper, the series takes an embodied approach in responding to the enveloping plenitude and multiplicity of the living world. In a dialogue with the history of landscape art and photography, I have eschewed dramatic scenes in favor of quiet settings, and used layering and hands-on molding to fashion a fluid perspective that allows space for contemplation. Drawing on deep ecology and phenomenology, the pieces are meant to invoke a restfully attentive and intimate embrace with nature.
Works are 17” x 22” archival pigment prints in limited editions of 10 or 20.
