New photographic series where I visit ‘natural landscape tourist sites,’ find the most photographed point of view of the site, and hastily snap a 360° view of the landscape. Jump back in my car and drive to the next natural landscape tourist location. My interest in this series is to explore how cultures express themselves through the style of nature they produce at a given era. Also important, is the medium out of which a cultures constructs its nature. For me, this work is a critique on the current experience of nature, where one is a cultural tourist making lists of places to visit, ‘check’ them as visited, and moving to the next site. Art critic Dave Hickey writes in his article ‘Shooting the Land’ ’...As creatures of the eye, we read the world but rarely deign to caress it.’
