Linda Mott-Smith

My work as a life long photographer is inspired by an interest in Eastern Studies, especially Feng Shui from Tibet and Nine Star Ki from Japan. Both systems are based on the Five Elements of Fire, Earth/Soil, Water, Wood/Tree and Metal., I usually exhibit photographs of all of the elements as one work or as a series, according to Feng Shui principles. However, any of my photographs can be displayed individually to enhance interior environments.
As a year round resident of Martha’s Vineyard, many of my Earth/Soil photographs are the result of a project documenting the erosion of the Gay Head cliffs from 1994 onward.
