Vanessa Marsh creates imaginary landscapes and atmospheres through a mixed media process based in photography. Working in various photographic processes she creates the illusion of a layered and dimensional landscape using opaque stencils and cut paper to make multiple exposures on light sensitive materials. She has translated this process into different forms of photographic printmaking, from traditional black and white darkroom prints, to analog color printing, wet plate collodion, lumen and cyanotype.

Reflecting upon the landscapes of her life in the Western United States, the images she creates are meditations on memory, climate change and geologic time.
