Artist Sonja Hinrichsen examines urban and natural environments through exploration and research. Her work manifests in immersive video installations and, what she calls, interventions in nature. We talked about her large and ongoing participatory project, Snow Drawings. We discussed the intersection of place and human perception, especially as it relates to the American West. Sonja also had some great advice for living and sustaining a creative life.
