Anderson Ranch

In preparation for anderson ranch I need to ask a few questions :




What narrative am I  trying to get out of my photograph?  Is this moment a surprise?  How do the sand stones operate as purely objects and how do they become integrated into the landscape ?  Can they be see as being part of the landscape?  Ordinary vs Unique.   What does it say about  us and our connection with the landscape??  What does it mean for the object to be hand made?  How does the handmade object compliment the intricacy of  mother nature?

 How  could this unique object allow us to think differently after having been  seen in within the landscape?

Can the documentation of this object in the landscape  make  the handmade object more natural and real?






These are questions I would like to start answering  when thinking about the  Sand stones I just made.  As objects they operate much differently when  juxtaposed within the landscape. When in the Landscape the sand stones become more than just an object, they attract attention not only to themselves but to the surfaces around them, allowing  the viewer to take notice to  a part of the landscape that is more of less forgotten.
