A Topography of Possession

A Topography of Possession is a poetic exploration of the consequences of desire for ownership over the environment. A paradox of extraction and expansion is made visible through the opposition of receding and accumulating topographic layers. Minerals are extracted from the land for the purpose of expanding power and industry. What is left after the value within the land has been extracted, and who benefits from the expansive possibilities this extraction provides?

A Topography of Possession was printed at Wheelhouse Press with reduction relief prints, handset type, and serigraphs on Rives heavyweight paper in an edition of 5.
