Touching Ground
Shaena Neal

Artist Statement: I see these photographs as collected fragments, representing the (dis)connections between the natural and artificialwithin our daily lives. We find ourselves captured in the fringes. As we witness gradual and sudden changes in our collective landscapes, how do we orient ourselves moving forward? How does our perspective of immediate surroundings affect our sense of place, throughout time and individually – and the ways photography has affected our gaze on the world? Touching Ground exposes symbolic margins where environment and the human touch blur.

Artist Bio:  Shaena Neal’s photography focuses on environmental entanglement – enframing loss, desire, and memory within the impacts of the shifting climate. She received her BFA from the University of Kentucky in 2016. Now living on a farm in Bourbon County, the landscape of Central Kentucky inspires Shaena’s reflections. 
These silver-gelatin prints were created from 35mm film. Framed by Frames On Main Gallery in Paris, Kentucky.
