Julie Dodd, ‘Talking Landscapes’, Digital print. ‘Mapping the West’ was collaborative book project between WMC Fine Art degree Students and BYU students in Utah. We were given a map of the ‘Escalante’ Region and a project brief. We were asked to produce a book whilst visiting Utah that would be based on a camping trip to Escalante with the BYU students.’Talking Landscapes’ is about my experience and adventure. The book fuses together the topography of this astonishing environment with the contours of the body and with our on the road conversations that took place over the length of the camping trip.
