Kimberly Richardson Post 4

Allie Mount




1. Allie Mount work is always resolutely non-triumphalist in its approach to picturing landscape, marked by subtle transitions and tightly arranged, elegant compositions. She manages both in the single image and cumulatively, using colored images to capture a rustic look that has a past story to be revealed. Spending a little over a year to construct her project near The Sandy River, in the Pacific Northwest state of Oregon.

2. Allie intent is to bring recognition to the area from the past. These particular pictures were believed to be in the same area in which Lewis and Clark traveled. The river being named after Clark after sinking in the swamp and calling it quicksand. She hopes that every viewer sees the raw beauty of nature and able to connect to the history of the land of our past.

3. I feel as if the pictures have a great representation of the past using the late summer and early fall colors of the trees and grasses to capture a rustic older look. She captures a beautiful landscape that has not only representation of history but, the raw beauty of the land and earth she hopes to represent in all her work.
