Imagining Landscapes Quotes

“Artists, composers and writers...are bent upon capturing and reining in the insights of a fugitive imagination, always inclined to shoot off into the distance, before they can get away, and on bringing them back into the immediacy of material engagement. Like hunters, they too are dream-catchers.”
― Tim Ingold, Imagining Landscapes: Past, Present and Future

“An imagined landscape, then, is a landscape not of being but of becoming: a composition not of objects and surfaces but of movements and stillness, not there to be surveyed but cast in the current of time.”
― Tim Ingold, Imagining Landscapes: Past, Present and Future
