This Place in My Hands
PHOTOGRAPHS BY AMEE ELLIS
This Place in My Hands explores relationships between people and the land. The land itself is at the heart of these images, created over a year of traveling across Iowa, beginning in the winter of 2023.
This project is supported by an Art Project Grant through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Iowa Arts Council, which exists within the Iowa Economic Development Authority.

My photographs explore a sense of wonder and belonging in the Midwest landscape. My practice is centered in wandering, discovering a deeper understanding of the land and its rhythms, and finding connection with this place I call home.
