Ashlae Shepler: The States Project: Colorado | LENSCRATCH

Collaboration is a key element to Ashlae Shepler’s practice. The series Lest We Travel Too Far, made with long term collaborator Leah Gose, documents commonplace scenery and our connection to the landscape as observed in their travels through the United States. Using lenticular film cameras and displayed in grids, the work combines the surrealist strategy of a photographic Exquisite Corpse with the mid-century aesthetic of street photographers like Robert Frank and Garry Winogrand. I interviewed Ashlae about her creative work and how she expands the idea of collaboration.
