Land is the primary source of all myth, symbol and culture.
To look deeply at the land is to witness all meaning, spirituality, and structure humanity has created throughout history.
From the earliest nomadic tribes to settled agrarian cultures, the land and the rhythmic shifts of the cosmos have been a guiding force in developing elaborate rituals of communication within our species and towards the unknowable force of a transcendent ‘Other’.
These photographs are an archaeological search for evidence of primitive symbol and ritual in the present, organizations of material and form from the land in an attempt to divine meaning. Divorced from a practitioner, these arrangements collapse time, observing symbols that feel ancient and magical. They are suggestions of a potential future beyond industrial collapse.
