Lee Boroson’s work presents a nuanced take on the idea of nature. For the artist, “landscape” is positioned between man-made cultural constructs and wilderness. To achieve this, Boroson creates large-scale immersive installations, which emulate “natural” experiences for his viewers, based on the most ineffable elemental forces in nature — from air, fog, and smoke, to fire and the cosmos. Boroson’s installations are both embodied and ephemeral; they transform material and experience, all within the space of the gallery, calling for viewers to contemplate the very nature of nature.
