A Varied View
From a distance our natural surroundings can appear pristine, but as we inspect more closely, we find human presence is pervasive. In this work, I embed multiple moments into a single image. The details appear hidden in plain sight, like camouflage. Careful inspection reveals the mundane residue of human detritus and consumption becoming an integrated part of the environment. Here, the experience of landscape is complex and interconnected — layering and compressing time, space, and place. - Laura Plageman, 2020
