Leah Raintree

the landscape is not still is an exhibition that brings together projects that respond to sites ranging from alpine glaciers in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, early industries of clay-rich Maine, and the rural landscape of Virginia. Across the exhibition, materials from the earth are used in drawing methods that intersect with photographic and ceramic processes, allowing elements of light, time, scale, and atmosphere to influence final works. Central to the exhibition is the interrelationship between humanity and the planet, with an interest in attempts to fix, utilize, and frame the earth, and what escapes these frameworks of use and understanding. Leah Raintree: the landscape is not still was shown at Reynolds Gallery in Richmond, VA in spring, 2020 and at Staniar Gallery at W&L University in Lexington, VA in 2022.
