Hi- I’m Beth.
A photographer from a small farming town in southern Idaho—making funky frames and using both traditional and experimental photo processes—to wrestle with some unruly questions about landscapes, perception, ecological and social tipping points, and the many ways we can come to know something.
Current Research Interests:
Political Ecology, Climate Science, Social Practice,
Poetry, and Place-based Pedagogies and Epistemologies.
