When I embraced the medium of photography, I felt that taking a picture that represented only what was within the frame of the lens wasn’t expressing my personal and inner experience of the world around me. With the eye and training of a painter and with years of experience behind me in film visual effects, I began to take my photographs to another level.

Catherine Nelson creates immersive landscapes, rich with detail and an in-tune understanding of ‘place’. Each piece is a meticulous reconstruction of a highly specific site, well-known to the artist, in various permutations of time, seasonal changes and weather.

Catherine painstakingly merges hundreds of images to create these fully realised worlds. By capturing the specific light, flora and scale of each site she is able to develop planetary wholes with unique personalities. The works re-create the sublime effect of being fully immersed in nature, highlighting the ability of landscape (and the memory of landscape) to affect both mood and emotion.
