THE FIGURE IN THE LANDSCAPE curated by Emma Powell www.emmapowellphotography.com
The relationship between a figure and its landscape context can be powerful. Landscapes are often presented as pristine places, without human presence. However, figures within landscapes can play dynamic roles as scale elements, protagonists in a narrative, or mysterious presences. Sometimes figures can ask more questions about a place than they can answer. For this exhibition we seek photographs that extend beyond documentation of place to bring a human element into the natural or urban landscape.
Note from Emma Powell: "The quality of photography submitted for “The Figure in the Landscape” competition was impressive. I was grateful to be asked to view work from such talented photographers. There was a wonderful variety of style and interpretation of the theme, and it was very difficult to narrow them down. I want to thank everyone for your contributing your work."
