835
For centuries, nature and art have evolved in tandem. They seem to consciously complement and influence one another; they exist alongside humanity, yet persevere despite it.
Inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson, I used medium and large format cameras to capture the visual lyricism of the natural spaces in which I have often found solace.
Nature and God — I neither knew
Yet Both so well knew me
They startled, like Executors
Of My identity
Yet Neither told — that I could learn —
My Secret as secure
As Herschel’s private interest
Or Mercury’s affair —
