David McIntyre

David McIntyre is a Scottish photographer, filmmaker, and artist residing in Upstate New York. Located in the heart of the 700-acre Greenport Conservation Area, the installation comprises twelve rectangular archways arranged in a nineteen-foot diameter circle. “I want visitors to become aware of the distress we are causing Nature and to share vicariously in its suffering, its agony. I want them to hear its cries for help – cries we ignore at our peril. Then, in the stillness of the inner circle – a place where they are both with and within Nature – I hope they sense the mystery at the heart of it all. Because that sensation, that feeling, that’s change happening.”
