Laura Nash's photographs explore aspects of human interaction with the modern landscape. The settings depicted range from urban and industrial sites to brownfields - including specific ecological contamination and simple structural obsolescence - and extend to work sites, people at work, and small or idiosyncratic businesses. In some instances nature appears only as entropy in the passage of time. Other photography projects by Laura Nash look at our contemporary experience within these settings, such as portraits of people at work in Brooklyn, in small businesses or in domestic interiors.

In pictures of natural history exhibits, the human relationship to nature is further revealed through an examination of anthropomorphizing, categorizing and collecting. Laura Nash creates resonant images that convey the experience of place and the juxtaposition of the natural and the man-made.
