Through the intersection of photography, sculpture, performance and collaboration, Peter Happel Christian explores
the natural landscape as a primary place of human action
and reflection. This expanded practice allows him to examine
photography as a fluid method of description and invention.

of Iowa in 1999 and his MFA from the University of Oregon in
2003.
