Anna Reich: This Land – LENSCRATCH

My artistic practice is based on the belief that the process of creating a visual record is as valuable as the existence of one. I use the camera as a tool to translate experience and meaning, often being both celebratory and critical of photography. Much of my work from the last ten years has been socially engaged; first, investigating issues relating to cultural trauma and post-traumatic stress and second, questioning the use of land and development of unsustainable communities in the western half of the United States.
