Katie Hargrave and Meredith Laura Lynn’s artwork is grounded in their shared interest in the outdoors. They explore the cultures surrounding and mitigating our experiences of public lands, which are an important part of our identity as a country. Hargrave and Lynn infuse their artworks with humor, such as placing quotes from famed naturalist John Muir’s A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf over romanticized images of outdoor recreation and filming their own spoof survivalist series. Beneath all the “poking fun” at the history and culture of outdoorsmanship in the U.S. lies Hargrave and Lynn’s deep and abiding love for these spaces. The artists work together to engage with contemporary culture and art historical legacies to create new narratives about who public lands are for and how people might experience them.
