The land plays an integral part in shaping human identity. Along with physiological perceptions of topography, emotional attachments to place are commonly interpreted through cultural experiences. For women artists, the interpretation of land may also be an embodiment of the local, a meditation on the specifics of place in an intimate embrace of space and time.
The process of articulating a vision of an environment involves the unification of these disparate elements. This is not through chance occurrence, but willful recognition, a visually expressed reaction to the influences of setting upon the intellectual, psychological, and spiritual responses of the individual.
