The Forty Seasons
10 year environmental portrait project
The Forty Seasons is a collaborative project featuring performance artist Laura Milkins and photographer/digital artist Daniel Buckley. Begun in 2022, it is a ten year project of quarterly environmental portraits, each shot with the changing seasons, mostly in Southern Arizona but not restricted to it. The project is about change in the landscape and in ourselves. Buckley and Milkins have worked on a variety of previous art projects together since 2010. The artists both live in Tucson, Arizona.
What you see posted are work-in-progress study treatments of frames from the individual shoots. In the end, only one frame from each shoot will be chosen for forty final images. Process is at the heart of all of it.
