Ambient Pressure

"Ambient Pressure" is an ongoing project that critiques the ways that photography has literally and conceptually ‘framed’ nature. Driven by the alarming environmental changes of the Anthropocene, the artworks are formed through analog and digital interventions. Photographic negatives are manipulated by acts that include cutting, burning, taping, folding, the incorporation of visual obstructions during the film scanning process, or physical modifications to printed images. The previously straightforward landscape imagery is thus incised with physical intrusions, complicating the scene with an additive-erasure. This process — that changes the material surface of the photographs — reveals the photographic conditions which objectify and distance nature from our human experience.
