No Ordinary Land is a collaborative project with artist Laura McPhee begun in 1987. In our pictures, we looked at areas as remote and geologically youthful as Iceland and as densely populated and industrially developed as New Jersey. In between, we made pictures in Sri Lanka, Italy, Costa Rica and Hawaii. Our work is about human inventiveness in shaping the elements both physically and metaphorically as we strive to represent multiple possibilities for reading landscape.
