A Natural History of the Wind by Jacob Cowgill
A Natural History of the Wind explores three ways of engaging with the wind through photography, wind map prints, and kites, approaches that observe, measure, and collaborate with this invisible yet powerful force. Rooted in the landscapes of north, central Montana and shaped by childhood memory and family life, the work captures the visible effects of something that cannot be directly seen. Through black-and-white photography, the exhibition documents the wind’s imprint on place, while the kites offer a more playful and collaborative perspective, inviting a shift from viewing wind as a destructive force to experiencing it as a creative partner, echoing a sense of curiosity, & wonder.
