Terra Mollis

Terra Mollis (Soft Earth), 2016-2019

Interested in the romanticism associated with Traditional Landscape Photography existing within a visually distorted surreal reality, I've started to manipulate photographs of the natural landscape, portraits and daily life moments of the world. My matter of interest lies with how to create a new perspective that mimics yet challenges the reality of what is being seen. Once a photograph is altered, reality diminishes. The process of viewing an unknown landscape can become a chance to explore, to experience puzzlement, and to question. Skewing the mixtures of documented scenes to create spatial tension and conversation, I wish to address the way materials are combined and emotional connection to the new organic photographs created.
