About this Event

This link is for IN-PERSON tickets only

Laura McPhee's landscape photographs made over the last decade or so in the American west provoke questions about our attitudes and beliefs about the earth we inhabit, questions sometimes environmental, sometimes cultural or geographical. Made with film and a large-format view camera, the photographs envelop time, both geologic and human. A serpentine river cuts a deep meander in the land. A gold mine on the edge of the Black Rock Desert is an incision, exposing a ruddy interior. A still-life found on slickrock in the Navajo Nation reveals fragments of human presence — machine parts, zippers, desert-varnished tin cans, a tiny plastic toy among shards of glass and rust. A meditation on our material lives and the unintended consequences of humanity’s attempts to control and manage nature, the images depict our paradoxical efforts as we come to terms with the reality of climate change and as we variously attempt to restore, protect, alter, and exploit the land.
