Comes From the Land

​In the series Comes From the Land (2024), artist Epiphany Couch explores the transformative effects of nature and waterways, reflecting on the many teachings that the natural world provides. Using a combination of landscape and double-exposure film photography taken in Washington and Oregon, Couch traces the flow of water as a way to honor her ancestral ties to the Pacific Northwest and pay tribute to our indivisible relationship with the earth. Inspired by Salish weaving patterns, the designs extend in the four directions, evoking a sense of balance, interconnectedness, and transformation.
