Having lived near each of the Great Lakes at one time or another, I am interested in the lakes for their constant change and erosion, the shore as a boundary line shifting and acting on the land, and the inevitability of the horizon. As with Deer Project, I am compelled to use bodies in the landscape as a disruption to the constancy of the natural world. As a response to our media and youth obsessed culture, I have chosen to photograph, video and interview women over 40 – an age group often culturally marginalized. Their physical presence in the landscape will be echoed with their personal stories of experiential moments. I am not interested in notions of the feminine in nature, rather am using these bodies as marks upon the landscape – absorbed into the environment with passive conflict.

This video is part of a larger work in progress. It represents this boundary between flux and permanence.
