Sarah Lou
Kinneen

My practice draws from site and is rooted in the ritual of daily walks and slow looking, desiring to explore the endless connections between ecology and visual art. I engage in a collaborative dialogue with the natural world, using an embodied approach that incorporates alternative photography, site-specific sculpture, growth, dance, and moving image. Through these mediums, I facilitate conversations between the diverse perspectives present in any given landscape. My work is driven by a fascination with the poetic possibilities that arise from materiality and making in collaboration with others, human and more than human.
