Walking the burn, Kirsten Taylor

In my studio practice, I explore my developing relationship with the landscape. I begin by walking outside, taking the time to see around me and focusing on the more-than-human world. I meditate on the visual manifestations of my relationship with the landscape, such as trails. Trails represent a relationship based on time formed by the repeated action of foot meeting ground. During the pandemic, many of us have returned to nature seeking connection because we were unable to see and connect with others of our own species. Despite our isolation, we share the experience of returning to nature for solace.
