Artist Statement
Telescoping Landscapes
The art of the capture has many layered meanings , known or unbeknownst to the photographer . Within landscapes, it is not until we dig deeper do we see the history within our images, hidden - or not so hidden - traces held by the land and often mired by the environmental impact of man .
In this series of photogravures , Tina Weitz explores what we see on the surface with our eyes, and through her artworks , tells the story held within.
