Nature Interrupted: "Where The Wild Waits" Art Series

Title: Where The Wild Waits
Artist Statement By: Cate Infinity
"Where the Wild Waits" is a series born from observation and erosion - from the quiet way nature overtakes the structures we leave behind. It is a visual exploration of transition spaces: forgotten fences, leaning gates, overgrown fields, and shallow woods where light and decay live side by side. These are not abandoned places. They are transformed.
Inspired by farm life and rural edge lands, I seek out scenes where the human hand has retreated just enough for the wild to enter. I work primarily with layered photography and digital textures, often shooting through moisture - covered glass or distressed lenses. Each piece begins as a straightforward photograph but evolves into a composite of moods, memories, and natural detail.
The process is intuitive, built on slowness and patience. I let each scene tell me what it’s becoming - not just what it was. I pay close attention to contrast and subtle tension: rust against green, thorns and moss, barbed wire silhouetted by soft fog. What’s sharp in one moment blurs in another.
This work is not nostalgic. It’s reverent. It honors both the human impulse to shape the land and the land’s deeper rhythm to reclaim, reseed, and rewild. These images invite the viewer to linger where structure fades - not to mourn what’s lost, but to witness what takes its place when we stop trying to control the view.
