"Into the Hills: Bear Butte" - Gina Gibson

"My recent body of work consists of digitally manipulated photographs. My current series, Into the Hills is based on images captured in and around the Black Hills of South Dakota. I moved to South Dakota from North Carolina in 2008. The move was startling for me visually. I went from familiar swamps and beaches to foreign rock formations and waves of grasslands. This series focuses on my hikes, bike rides and snowshoe outings. I keep a camera and sketchbook on me. And these images become a source of inspiration that I use as an artist. Aesthetically I am interested in abstraction, repetition, pattern and color. Making this work allows me to explore these elements and more. "
