Soft Ground: Back to the Swamp Forest
Currently based in Los Angeles, Breanna was raised in the mountains of Southern Appalachia where the landscape has been endlessly worked by technologies of extraction. Left behind is a scarred, soft ground.
The cartographic images in her “Soft Grounds” series present bits as matter and landscapes as information through the manipulation of tools engineered to digitize physical conditions. These unearthed and unwrapped visions of the landscape present both a familiar softness and an uncomfortable awareness of geological violence.
Exhibited at Vellum, Los Angeles. Curated by Jesse Damiani and Sinziana Velicescu.
