How do landscape designers’ drawing and making practices invoke collaborative
relationships between themselves, other living beings, and landscape phenomena? This project investigates agentic reciprocity in
design and other landscape-making practices. Mixing ethnographic, historical, and practice-based research enables a study of practices from the early 20th century to the
present.
This is an exploration of how reciprocity is envisioned, imagined, and cultivated through creative action. This work takes seriously the revelatory capacity of drawing, and the power of practice to instigate specific qualities and kinds of relationship in the world.
