My relationship to landscape is deeply informed by my upbringing as the child of geographers. I grew up at the base of the Flat Irons in Boulder, Colorado. On family hikes, my parents gave a telling of the landscape that made visible the radical upheavals that had created the mountainous spaces we were traversing. The landscape wasn’t static for me, but a place full of striations, erratics, and hanging U-shaped valleys: evidence of spatiotemporal flows operating beyond the scope of daily human assumptions.
In Generated Landscapes, the otherness of AI models and video drone footage has allowed me to evoke new upheavals in geological time, to generate an ever-changing reshaping landscape which speaks to destruction and renewal — a more than human vibrancy.
