A landscape reflects the values and needs of those who live and build within it. I fixate on industrial forms and structures and how these then represent a complex relationship with resources and land use. From maps to sites of construction and manufacture, our understanding of, and interaction with our world is mediated through that which we build for ourselves.
I am attracted to the visual presence of infrastructure, especially in contrast to native features. I am curious about how the visual impact of simple, economical structures like these shapes a place psychologically as well as visually.
