In Lorelle Rau's recent landscape series, she seeks to express the transformative qualities of nature, particularly the rich contours and textures of the mountains. As an avid hiker and backpacker, the natural world has always been an integral part of her creative process. Rau's intuitive approach involves the gathering of imagery of different forms to create a single, new piece. By appropriating preexisting images from brochures, magazines, books, old drawings, and photographs, Rau re-contextualizes original elements and presents them with new meaning.
