land & sea
This series of images is a rough, raw, and expressive approach to developing my artistic vision as an undergraduate student. This project deals with what was then a budding fear of our society and its general path. I felt drawn to what I saw as misused spaces, often industrialized, abandoned, landscapes throughout mostly Northern California, and more specifically the Bay Area. For the first time I was appreciating the lack of respect we have for our land as a society and the sense of entitlement that we use to justify the use of it.
Using a cheap, plastic camera, the Holga, in order to crudely piece together these landscapes, as well as printing the images at three feet high, by a varying length of five to eleven feet, as an attempt to create a commentary with modern commercialism and industrialism that feeds our views of nature.
