Linz Welch is an environmental and landscape photographer who is interested in how the photograph can act as filter between viewer and place, in its ability to reveal the truth of an environment. Linz’s approach to picture making is analytical and analogous, seeking the often-awkward relationships between object and location that tell of our relationship to the world around us through the way we arrange it. Her recent project, “Somewhere” is an intellectual approach, one that we must ponder over about our own connection. Non-places exist as transient spaces of insignificance, in contrast to where we envision our lives lived. They exist in a state of placelessness through over organization and compartmentalization of our shared, developed, surroundings. View and read more about her artist statement: https://zcu.io/4f15
