David Lindesay

Terraform explores our desire to control the environment and the imprints left by our presence. Lindesay’s photographs, taken to capture the sublimity of the natural world, depict places that appear to exist naturally but are human-made. Reflecting the inherent tension between wild and contrived nature, these photographs are marked, carved, and defaced in a process that intervenes directly into and onto the film.
