OX-BOW SERIES

Works from Rathus’s residency at Ox-Bow (2012) are filmed alone, in nature. She uses two cameras to capture her exploration of the triangulation of self, nature, and camera. These short and distinct filmed performances ask the question: how does a persona function without its intended audience present? In Landscape Rathus matches herself to the surroundings by tracing the landscape with her hair— a live drawing.
