Stephanie Dowda DeMar: Topophilia

From Stephanie Dowda: The natural world holds emotions and memories. Topophilia is a photography project exploring the powerful sensations humans experience from our natural environments and inspired by the eponymous geography theory as defined by Yi-Fu Tuan. Through my photography, I capture this energy as light onto film. My photographs go beyond representational landscapes to capture the experiences left behind within the land. I also build installations that mimic the natural world in order to deepen one’s ability to connect with and experience place. Image: Genius Loci, Gelatin silver print.
