Elemental #190: In the Shadow of the Mountain, Astxiki - North East towards Mendiola

Michael Rawling’s Elemental Series uses Film, and Found Materials at each photograph’s location to create a new type of Landscape artwork.

.

Tiny amounts of water, organic and mineral samples are collected at the site of the photograph, from the very landscape depicted within the picture - and chemically bonded with the film over 9-12 months. The resulting raw photograph, sometimes figurative, sometimes totally abstract or somewhere in between, is more throughly representative of our real, visceral experience of the elements and our changing landscape.
