I am interested in the way that we look at a given landscape and take possession of it in our blood and brain. None of us lives apart from the land entirely; such an isolation is unimaginable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.
Landscape is a piece that is emotional and psychological.
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
If the landscape changes, then I don't know who I am either. The landscape is a refracted autobiography. As it disappears you lose your sense of self.
There have been few things in my life which have had a more genial effect on my mind than the possession of a piece of land.
Landscape to me is a planar thing, just a view. Environment is everything down to the ecosystem. Big difference.
My childhood landscape was not land but the end of the land - the cold, salt, running hills of the Atlantic. I sometimes think my vision of the sea is the clearest thing I own.
I still don't know why, exactly, but I do think people can have a spiritual connection to landscape, and I certainly did in Iceland.
The landscape you grow up in speaks to you in a way that nowhere else does.
For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces.
