Nature inside.

Once again – and it’s the most real and intimate sense of photography –, through the work of Maegan Hill-Carroll we look at the world as through different eyes, and, once again, the world itself becomes a different place. The Canadian photographer’s ongoing exploration of landscape is rooted, ad she says, in her “desire for some elusive connection to the natural world, to the fraught notion of an untouched wilderness”. A quite personal notion, that has led her to places where the tensions between the natural environment and human construction are strong. These mounds of snow and soil reflect those tensions. “In the prairie Canadian city of Winnipeg where I grew up”, she explains, “these human made mounds of commodified and left over earth where my stand ins for the mountains of sublime western landscapes from photographic history”.
