Diane Colwell

Diane Colwell is a photographer, educator and lover of nature. Through her work, she investigates ways of understanding the world through different systems of visual response and interpretation along with concerns among disciplines of science, environmentalism and mountaineering (the containment and packaging of nature). Her work explores and tries to reveal the affinities and common working processes that these disciplines may share in theory, research methodology and documentation. Through this research into their histories she seeks relationships to her own experiences as an artist and a mountaineer.
