description: Responding to Landscape is a supporting paper that documents and discusses my position as an artist in the Okanagan. Using the Okanagan bodies of water as the source for my practice, my research focuses on human and environmental wellbeing and responding to place. My thesis discusses how my methodology within artmaking embodies performance, time and transformation. I discuss my role as an artist by using photography and cyanotype - an alternative photographic process. I tie memory and experiences with the landscape and explore how my body performs with the environment to create a tangible piece of art. I speak about my role within the process and how the process developed into my thesis exhibition, Inland Waters II, held at the Lake Country Art Gallery. I incorporate the history of the cyanotype process and how I have utilized the process for my research. I introduce contemporary artists that use alternative processes in photography and have similar methods in their practices. I demonstrate how the temporality of the landscape is informed through my methodology. My thesis and exhibition artwork attempt to present a respectful way of responding to the environment by collaborating with it.
