A Language of Respect

An examination of the marks of human presence, and the ethics of moving through the world with care and restraint. Jane Ivory's black-and-white photographs are carefully composed nature, revealing moments where man has left a mark. Ivory's work focuses on evidence of use, neglect, and remembrance. What emerges is awareness. A Language of Respect is an invitation to move through the world with care and restraint. Through the act of intentional observation, understanding and becoming aware, Ivory reminds us that nature asks for respect and balance, not possession.
