Opening Reception: Thursday, May 11 6:00PM - 8:00PM
My studio is the out of doors. That’s where I take my pictures, that’s where I find my inspiration, that’s
where my ideas spring forth. Back home I sit in front of my computer and relive all those moments out
in the desert hiking through the wide-open landscape learning about nature’s ways.
Grounded: The Essential Landscape presents, in the MAC Main Gallery, Marsh's current large-scale Western landscape photographs of Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota (2021/22) along with select vintage images of places previously photographed in the Badlands of South Dakota (1986-87) and Badlands of eastern Montana (1999).
