Steven Benson says, "When I think of unban landscapes, what comes to mind is a landscape that does not feel ‘natural’. The photographs could refer to the built environment in myriad ways. The images could represent human interaction with the land on a grand scale such as public parks and urban spawl or the interaction could have more of a private quality like someone’s backyard. I’m always interested in opportunities like this exhibition to see new work." Steven Benson is a photogra
