Cracks Into Other Worlds
I can only feel my body when I’m looking at the fading leaves and the bending branches of the trees.
For several weeks at the end of 2022 while at an artist residency I made long exposure pinhole images in the parks of Mexico City. Instead of capturing a fraction of a second as a traditional photograph would, I captured many days all in one image which erases the human presence. In a city with a population of 21 million, the images became a fantasy world without people. When I returned to Seattle I continued making images in parks around where I lived.
It is my hope that these images serve as a place to think about our tenuous relationship with nature.
If we don’t change the way we relate to nature, will we be banished from it?
