Artists in Sight: Sylvia August
A landscape and equine photographer, Sylvia Augustus spent almost five years living and working in Yosemite National Park as a preservation architect. While at Yosemite, her free time was spent taking photographs of the Sierra Nevada area. Prior to Yosemite, her photographic focus was on the built environment. During her tenure at Yosemite my photographic practice shifted from the built environment to landscapes and wildlife. Augustus’s main body of photographic work focuses upon documenting wild American Equine and their struggle for survival. She sees her work as “a service to the community at large; sharing a story about how society has failed one of the last great American icons; the wild horse.”
The Past is Prologue: Nicodemus, Kansas
