The combination of nudity, landscape and architecture makes Catherine Colaw's pieces eye catching and stunning. Colaw's nude portraits explore the relationship between nature and the vulnerable human body and being able to intertwine the two - physically with her own body. She cleverly disfigures her body, making herself become almost animal-like. She becomes as organic as the landscape its self. The mixture of contortion and flexibility highlights the human body's capability of athletics and sexuality. In some of the photographs, her poses are dynamic rather than still, creating a kind of living landscape piece of work. Colaw's allowance of space in her compositions emphasizes the natural beauty of the earth and the human figure.
