Erika Osborne’s works in drawing, photography and mixed-media find cultural connections to place and environment. This photograph from the Imprinting Place series looks at “how the landscape marks us if we let it. If we bring to it our sensory awareness -- our bare backs, our hands and our eyes,” writes Osborne.
