“Traces of Time” featured in “Landskab”

My photographic project “Traces of Time” has been featured in the Danish magazine of landscape architecture “Landskab” (Nr. 7-2024). 

The work is beautifully laid-out on three page-spreads in an issue that focuses on public parks.

I also recommend reading Christina Capetillo’s beautiful introduction to this issue of the magazine, if you can get your hand on a hard-copy!

“Mother Tongue” by artist and poet Mimi Kunz released by the Kyoudai Press

In Mother Tongue, Mimi Kunz tells the story of her daughter’s birth and first year of life. Through her poetry and painting, she meditates on the question “So what’s it like, this love?” As she shares her experience of being a young mother, and her moments of marvel, fear, and laughter, a revelation occurs. The body of mother and child are discovered as our first language, our mother tongue.

New Collaborative Artists’ Book Released

Tack – Tack is a visual game played by William-Alexander and documented in this book. Wilma had the throw-in with a print on Hessian. Alexandra kicked it back with a photograph from Iceland. The game was on…

 

William-Alexander is an artist duo whose collaborations are inspired by the islands and coastal landscapes of the north-eastern Atlantic. They combine the work of Wilma Vissers (https://www.wilmavissers.com) and Alexandra Huddleston, playing with abstraction and figuration in the representation of space and place.

Thursday, April 11 – Talk on Photography and Walking Art

This Thursday, April 11, I’ll be giving an online talk to the Landscape Research Group Coffee Sessions (https://landscaperesearch.org/events/).

 

Details Below:

Thursday 11 April at 17.00 BST which is 10.00 am Mountain Daylight Time. 

“Flux and Flow: finding new ways to tell stories about landscape through walking and photography”

Alexandra Huddleston is a photographer, writer, and walking artist.  Her recent works move the viewer through time and space, expressing what it’s like to be walking within an ever-changing landscape.  In her presentation to the LRG, she will discuss how researching land through walking has not only changed her understanding of landscapes, but has also entirely transformed her formal and conceptual approach to photography.

Major new photographic installation featured in “Introducing The River Box”

TITLE : Flux: three years; Oneseed Juniper, Juniperus monosperma (2023)

MATERIAL : digital photography, archival ink-jet print on paper

SIZE : installation size - 47 by 119 in (119.4 by 302.2 cm)

"Flux: three years; Oneseed Juniper, Juniperus monosperma" is an array of seven photographs that come together as a single work of photographic installation. This installation is part of a larger, ongoing, series “Flow: Walking the Upper Arroyo Calabasas, Northern New Mexico” which is an intensive photographic description of a half-mile stretch of an arroyo in New Mexico, USA. The project also explores how the camera - a machine that creates a static image from a single point-perspective – can be used to express the dynamic movement of a walker and to expand the viewer’s experience of space and time.

The Arroyo Calabasas is a dry streambed that fills with water only a few times a year. The rest of the time, it is a path for walkers, horse riders, cyclists, coyotes, deer, and mountain lions. Its upper section flows less than half a mile from my home, and I have walked the nearest portion hundreds of times.

"Flux: three years; Oneseed Juniper, Juniperus monosperma" describes the flow and flux of change and stasis of the arroyo over time as the light and season change and mix with the imprint of passing weather and fauna. It constructs a new vision of the landscape, one that is seen from changing points in space and time, expressing how a walker returns to the same place over and over in changing moments and moods.

“Introducing The River Box” installation shots now online

“Introducing The River Box” is an exhibition that launches the The River Box, a private space dedicated to showcasing works of conceptual landscape photography.

Six photographic works by photographer and walking artist Alexandra Huddleston are on view from December 2023 through March 2024. These pieces introduce the ongoing project “Flow: Walking the Upper Arroyo Calabasas, Northern New Mexico” which brings Huddleston’s photographic installations to an ambitious new level.

Launch of “Orientation,” a chapbook featuring Alexandra’s prose on landscape

“Orientation” brings together five prose pieces that describe a radical alteration in the author’s perception as she explores the world on foot.  Most of these pieces were previously connected to individual photographs or photographic projects.  In this chapbook, the texts are given a chance to speak to each other, and to show the progression in Alexandra’s thinking about walking and landscape.
