A collection of new work that was the culmination of a 2020 MN State Arts Board Artist Initiative grant. The project used four publicly accessible regions of the Twin Cities to investigate how photography affects our behavior and attitude toward the natural world: community gardens, public parks, the Mississippi riverfront, and retention ponds. A limited edition artist book was released in conjunction with the exhibition. Wayfinder chronicles the two year long project through examinations of the body in the landscape and textual explorations of the act of photography.
The exhibition concluded with an artist talk with Torey Erin and Regan Golden whose artistic practices engage with nature in unique ways. The discussion touched upon the aesthetics of the living world and how different modes of making can advocate for new perspectives around our always-changing environment.
