Being a participant in the story of the land around me is the muse for my art. More than that, nature is my conduit to understanding myself, as well as the knowledge base for my role as a human in the wider world.
As a result of this, my photos have become a visual representation of my thoughts and beliefs. I think of them as pieces of myself – a reminder about how I felt and what I learned at a specific time in my life.
From the viewers perspective I can only hope to engage their imagination by including feelings in my photos that go beyond the basic objects in the frame – There is more to nature than what is viewed on the surface. I want to encourage them to interpret my work personally, understanding that my emotional response cannot be replicated in another individual, but may give them the opportunity to find something unique within themselves.
Sincerely,
Jason Pettit
