Abstract:
The photo-based body of work Landwalks is a collaboration between the natural landscape and the artist. Using a light source to trace distance, the artist utilizes their body and tools to map the topography of a variety of environments. These explorations reveal a dynamic interaction between human and nature that speaks to the complicated relationship of the two forces. Performance is highly present in the work, as each photograph encapsulates not just a moment, but an entire interaction. While each light trail and landscape is unique, the goal is to explore the interconnectedness of nature, man, and technology, illustrating the symbiotic relationship between them, with one party never holding absolute control over the other.

Keywords: Landwalk, Lensless, performance, long exposure, landscape, topography, installation.
