In this series concerning Wisconsin's Driftless Area, my intentions are both to document the land, yet more so to attempt to define the word "driftless," taking it in a literal sense; to be driftless, unmoving, unchanging. I'm seeking images that display a sense of permanence in and of the commonplace. Images include scenes of abandoned artifacts and structures, people in recreation, scenes that seem to be fixtures.
After moving to Madison, Wisconsin, I became caught up by the landscape that lies west of town. Upon learning this landscape held the poetic name of The Driftless Area (an area of land that escaped glaciation in the last glacial period), I became engrossed. This discovery coincided with myself, after much time moving around, finally becoming content with where I lived. In a sense, becoming driftless.
