One Gravel Road
This project was my attempt at forming a deep connection with a portion of landscape. The area I focused on was Cruger Island Road, a one mile gravel path which cuts through New York conservation land and culminates at the Hudson River. To create this project, I walked the one mile road weekly with a 4x5 view camera, attempting to communicate my experience of being with the land.
Originally presented as 11x14 silver gelatin prints.
