Now land, nature, has always been prescribed as inherently female- “Mother Nature”.  We address nature with the pronoun she.  In these terms the idea of mastery over the land takes on a very masculinized aggression.  Power relationships have always been interesting to me, and it is a position of mastery I am looking to place myself in.  I wanted to use this natural aesthetic for myself, to reverse the relationship of mastery and mastered.  A visual and optical experience that will empty out the historical ideologies inherent to these works and reframe them in a position of reversal, and hopefully in a more contemporary context.
