Allusive Landscapes

"Allusive Landscapes is part of an ongoing exploration of my long-time obsession with micro-life, such as insects, plants, and fungi. My interest in tiny nature has expanded to include the creation of small-scale landscapes that allude to much larger structures, phenomena, and plant life. These micro landscapes are created using a macro lens and a shallow depth-of-field to evoke a sense of scale. The world of “micro-life” is fascinating to me, and I want my imagery to encourage people to slow down and really take in all that nature offers, not just the immediate gratification of 'big nature.'" - Neva Nobles-Alder
