Jon Pelletier, In Circles, 1/10, 2025, Archival Inkjet Print, 40 x 40 inches

My work centers on invisible topographies: the tension between landscape and the unseen mechanics of nature and the psyche, including temporal perception. This ontological exploration evokes the sense that landscape might reveal or gesture toward the fundamental nature of reality itself - the deep structures beneath appearances. In my photographic practice, I pursue the unexpected through the unique qualities of unconventional film cameras, plastic lenses and alternative photographic processes. - J.P.
