Italian Landscape Collage 4ft x 4ft
Artist Statement: 
Due to my experience with living in the midwest and spending my childhood taking care of horses at a barn in Iowa, the midwest landscape has been very prevalent throughout my life. After learning more about the history of a landscape and photography’s power within visualizing the natural world, I realize the importance of perspective and connection with depicting and creating an image. Within my installation I explore the disconnect between the human and non human and recontextualize the image to prioritize the collective ecological system within the landscape.In a decolonial attempt to photograph the landscapes in the United States specifically in the Midwest I compose my photos within quilt block patterns that contextualize the visual imagery in a way that makes the viewer create new connections and relationships to the natural world.
