is a study of wild landscape within a greater urban environment: hybrid spaces, encroached upon by the city, that fall outside of a modern idealistic understanding of wilderness as a pristine and distant entity.

Wilderness is problematic, suggesting that nature's truest state relies upon our absence. It excludes us. Yet as we search for a sustainable coexistence with the landscape, it remains as a foundation of contemporary environmentalism.

What of the autonomous places on the borders of our vision, darkness on the edge of habitation?

These images are primarily concerned with the camera's immediate surroundings; the night limits one’s line of sight. Each image relies on a short range light source and the vista is rendered unimportant. The city exists as a backdrop of assorted starbursts and silhouettes, apparent safety beyond the wildness at hand.
