Land of the Stratus; Finishing Up A 6+Year Project in Book Form

L a n d of the S t r a t u s Photographs by Dennis DeHart 

Land of the Stratus is both a real and imagined place. The series conceptualizes place through representationally stylized and constructed photographs. The images were created in the San Juan Islands, USA, between 2005-2010. The photographs bear witness to instances of distress, which are punctuated by moments of the sublime. Diane Edkins, a curator at the Aperture gallery in New York City, describes the panormanic images as "A classical approach to the western landscape and space, which is both dissident and disturbing while functioning aesthetically and provocatively."
