Kaihalulu (Red Sand), Beach, Kauiki, Maui, Hawaii, 1996

Virginia Beehan and Laura McPhee explore the ways people interact with the landscapes in which they live. For over ten years, they have worked in collaboration creating a powerful visual map of the ways the natural world shapes and is shaped by human behavior. Photographing locations as diverse as Sri Lanka and Iceland, Costa Rica and New York, they have captured enduring moments where history, geology, and myth coalesce.
They have exhibited at a number of major institutions, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
