The Nature of Nature celebrates 40 years of production from one of Canada's leading photographers. Firmly located within the North American documentary genre, Holownia's unique practice, using predominantly analogue technologies, merges high craft with prolonged inquiry. This book includes a critical analysis of his work by Sarah Filmore, David Diviney, and Peter Sanger as well as 161 stochastic reproductions in colour and black & white of Holownia's contact prints.
