Sign, Symbol & Nature
David Pollock

These pictures were created with a 4x5 view camera during 2008/2009 and are part of a group of 25 images.

My primary intention is to spark recognitions and associations in the viewer by presenting their everyday world with its history in a manner that is layered with meaning.

These images are linked to each other thematically and raise issues regarding our relationship to the natural world. The pictures are also meant to point to photography itself as a means by which experience is filtered.

I perceive our relationship to the natural world as one that is mediated by romantic ideals of beauty and harmony and our representations of nature can be seen as attempts to frame the chaos of the natural world within the markers of familiar cultural symbols.

We are all tourists in the contemporary landscape.

David Pollock, 2009
