A Visionary Terrain

"As if guided by the instincts of an Ice Age master, A Visionary Terrain: The Elemental Art of Matthew Joshua Knisley sweeps us through a compilation of hand-crafted images into an electrifying new form of environmental consciousness. A virtual solo exhibition in print media, A Visionary Terrain uses an upstate eco-region, the sacred Tonawanda Creek watershed, as a motif. The artist's ephemeral petroglyphs and geoglyphs and the work of the natural elements combine into an almost shamanic artistic statement, a union of the human present and the deep, numinous past that sees the natural world as sacramental and even cognate with the human spirit."
