A black-and-white photographic exhibition by artist Kathryn Neilsen.

Exploring the landscape with a camera in hand is a cathartic way to connect — emotionally, spiritually and physically.

Body:Landscape is a black and white photographic exhibition exploring documentary nature elements, scenes, and self portraits in the nude. This glorification of natural beauty on multiple levels creates a dynamic play on figure and form, often using nude body shapes and contrasting tree trunks to draw parallels between this duality of existence.

Kat uses this form of photography as a way of connection, both to herself and as a grounding exercise to the world around her. Documenting this experience allows a tangible memento to support these fleeting moments in time.

Content Advisory: This exhibition includes photographic depictions of full rear and partial female nudity. Viewer discretion advised.
