Tara McDermott Undulating Stripes

The subject matter of my work has grown out of an obsession with the natural world. Away from the city’s dense humanity, I can feel my personal space expand. And I take deeper breaths. Each photograph is my attempt to recreate the experience of being in that place. It’s not about a particular location, but more how it makes me feel. There’s a sense of wonder and magic, the unknown of what is over the next horizon. A sense of endless possibility not constrained by the everyday: expectations, deadlines, or to do lists. The photographs I take are less landscapes than emotional portraits of the land.
